to weather watch!
The weather in the South West has been very peculiar
Rain, Rain, Rain!!!
Storms, Storms, Storms!!!
The Somerset Levels which are a low lying area of the county about five miles to the east of the town where I live have been flooded since before Christmas
Farmers have had to evacuate their stock as their entire farms have been covered in water
Households and in fact entire villages are under water
The main 'A' road between the town we live and the place where Nigel used to work has been closed for almost two months
This photo shows you a business at the side of the road before and after the flooding - the water is currently over 10 feet deep
The ground is so saturated that any puff of wind blows down trees
This morning when I arrived at work I parked at the side of the road
I considered reversing another couple of yards back down the road and something stopped me
Thank heavens it did
This is what I came out to at lunchtime when I came home
A bit too close for comfort
Just the weather for hunkering down in front of the fire and getting down to some stitching
Sadly the Met Office seem to think we're in for more of the same for the foreseeable future
