What is shown on TV can be misleading. There have been film clips on TV
of the
flooded Thames flowing very vast in some places.
Hopefully you will stay dry :-)


It is running extremely fast at the moment and the water is rolling as we
say. It looks so powerful and lethal.
Luckily it's not been so high here that the water is actually flowing fast
across the land it only moves to flood more land. It's just flooding over
and raising the water table to above soil level in places, like some
neighbours gardens and the whole housing estate at the end of our road, and
all but one road out. I suspect it will take quite a long time for the
water table to go down.
We await mid week by which time it will be reacting to last nights storm
with more than just interest.

I hope all this water is filling the aquifers, otherwise I don't suppose
it will all that long before a hosepipe ban is announced :-)

Somebody laughed at me a couple of weeks ago when I remarked, "We will look
back on this after the hottest Summer for years and the hose pipe ban in
operation and ask the question why haven't we stored this water?"

Have a laugh at me but mark my words.
