HEAVY rain overnight has brought flooding to Gower this morning.
Large parts of the South Gower area around Horton, Port Eynon and
Rhossili are claimed to be impassable.

There are also reports of a major landslide on the road between
Caswell and Bishopston.

Asd it's summer/

The lack of water didn't do our summer cabbages any good, we can only use
watering cans on our site so can't get enough water into everything. Now
this welcome rain, nothing heavy yet, has made them all split as the hearts
now grow faster than the outside leaves. Typical!
