The Xmas Flood

We woke this morning to hammering rain. By 10am, the ditch between us and the farmers field reached the top !!!!

Suddenly, we where outside in wet weather gear filling sand bags to stop water entering the house.
The neighbours arrived to help with clearing the ditch out as we all had flood problems.

While the guys where in the field, I was moving sand bags about, creating new channels for the water and generally dealing with the impact.

So now we have just sat down for a bacon butty . Roast dinner will now be later while we keep a check on the weather.
