Just found out we are now under red alert all night for major rain storms
According to the flood information we could be living on and island within an island in the morning, all the rivers round us are on red flood alert. Mrs B had me out clearing all the road drains earlier (in the rain), they have blocked before and caused problems. Is this weather ever going to improve ? If I'm not on here for a while, send in the food parcels

Not wishing to be a 'doom mongerer' but they reckon due to the jet-stream being several hundred miles further south than it should be this weather's in for weeks.

Been raining all day here. However we are not worried about the rivers flooding/breaking banks where we live. Nearest river is a few hundred feet below us! Despite taking the Micheal, Bob, stay safe

Cheers Brendan, will do
We are about 10 metres above the nearest river which is approx 300 metres away so normally we are OK. Problem we have is the water coming down off the fields, it blocks the drains with all the rubbish it carries. Boxster not for sale yet, just going out with the welding gear, weld the doors up and it will make a great boat
Just had a look at www.raintoday.co.uk, put my postcode in and found that the low is centred right over us
Could be an interesting night if the met office have got it right. Bob 2015 Jaguar XE240 R Sport - goes like ....... !! 2013 Defender 90 CSW - sold 2009 Defender 110 Double Cab - sold 2001 TD5 90 CSW - offroad project - sold to a forum member 2011 Porsche Boxster - for the sunny days ! |

This is not a good night to be a campsite owner
We had a phonecall from the Environment agency to warn us of flooding in our area. Yesterday they predicted us a dry weekend!  Rich

Well, we managed to get away in our caravan for the weekend - Yorkshire Off Road Club trial on Sunday.
Rained a lot this morning, then stopped for a while (conveniently as we were getting hitched up, etc), got here not raining, got all set up and then shortly after the next storm came in. Come 6 pm though, no more rain, and we've spent a very pleasant evening around the camp fire with a few beers/wine. Not near any rivers and the campsite drains well, forecast improving for tomorrow, so all is well. Brendan and Barbara are going us tomorrow I believe!  |

Bob, once you have welded the doors up on the boxter, consider some goldfish ? it could make a nice water feature to your lovley garden
