Rain, rain, rain and floods
Well, its been raining.
Quite a lot for the past few days.
Which has meant no allotment time for us.
River Stour flooding the road...
In fact it rained so much on Saturday that the river flooded the road at the bottom of our road – I’ve only seen it happen once before. Given the high volume of rain in a short period, I’d guess there wasn’t enough room under the bridge for all the water, so it just flooded around the side…
Several people tried to drive through, most backed out – apart from the Peugeot driver who of course got water in the exhaust and then couldn’t move anywhere. You’d think when the water is clearly deep, you’d stop and go back, well I would anyway!
And to finish off, a video of a bus forcing its way through the floods (apologies for the shaky start – someone walked in front of me as I started to film…)
