We've had one hell of a storm here. Both rivers which pass through our village burst their banks and the levels were a record high. The whole of our valley was flooded this afternoon and elder residents said they'd never seen anything like it.
We are okay but several properties have been flooded.
All this water from here eventually ends up in the River Severn so heads up if you live near it. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

the stream in my field is usually 1ft wide... last night it was 10ft wide I was less than impressed repairing the fence last night at 11pm (after the horse decided to kick s$*t out of it) standing in 2 ft of water..

Especially since my wellies split 2 days ago..

on the other hand, the wife just ordered me a nice pair of mens Dubarry's so hopefully warm dry feet this winter.. while im sitting in my boat where the field use to be

Marvelous post, it really made me laugh on this sad rainy day in Belgium

Who can say the british do not have a sense of humor

Im coming to Belguim at Christmas.. A few days at Disneyland Paris over Christmas, then up to Bruges for a couple of days on Boxing day.. Make sure that rain stops by then, I was hoping for around 25-30°C, so if you could arrange that I'd really appricieate it

In reality it's going to be Freezing, so have to keep 2 kids and my lady with bump warm while we strole aimlessly through the christmas markets..

I wonder if they'll have any Land Rover Stalls  MY2011 Freelander 2 GS Santorini Black

It could be worse, what it if was on snow temperature for all these weeks weve had this heavy rain? it would be about 20ft deep and the horse couldnt even find the fence, in fact where is the horse?

I have told you before you should come and live on The Wirral. we are 70 metres above sea level and if we get flooded there is no hope for anyone.
Only snag is that Thurstaston Woods are only about 10% size of Dyfnant so dog walks not as varied. How ever sun shines more.
