 I would deliberate to go to an Vintage Honest only for a go searching on Sunday however after I appeared out of the window at 8am and the water was operating down the hill utterly throughout the highway I modified my thoughts. It had clearly been raining all night time  and certain to be flooded once more right here and in lots of locations on the again roads between me and Woodbridge.

And certain sufficient when it stopped raining and I wandered down the highway to look it was like this. AGAIN! Vehicles have been going by way of very slowly and that is the shallowest half, it will get deeper additional alongside the place the water is operating down off the principle highway in addition to out of the river.

There was an hour or so dry after which at 2pm  it began raining once more. That is getting foolish!

Hope I can recover from to the coast to go to YD and EGD later within the week because it’s half-term right here so an opportunity to see them however it’s a cross nation journey and plenty of spots that always flood.

Later within the day Son rang as much as say they’d gone out, by way of a deep sudden flood that they could not see as they turned off the principle highway onto a small facet highway and their automobile had promptly stopped and can probably be written off! Oh my goodness. And thank goodness for BiL and his 4WD truck who rescued them after a frantic cellphone name from son to his uncle when the RAC mentioned they do not rescue folks from floods! 

There have been a number of images on the native fb group pages of many villages and roads that have been flooded within the space. Some are spots which have all the time flooded (usually known as Wash Lane!) however many are locations that flood the place new homes have been constructed making a lot of further run-off. Years in the past all farmers would have had their males clearing the ditches every autumn, now most farmers haven’t got farm staff.

Again Tomorrow
