So, so bad for so many.<br /><br />For me just a water logged and boggy garden in this Essex clay.

We've had lots of rain here in the east too, and living on a kind of flood plain we're surrounded by water, but fortunately it hasn't disrupted lives too much apart from shutting some of the roads near the river (Great Ouse). Wonderful when the sun comes out, isn't it!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638424388530718289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-76584172225669712802012-11-27T20:15:18.105+00:002012-11-27T20:15:18.105+00:00What a week it's been Jane.

It was heartbreaking to see people suffering floods again.Last week the rain ran down our road like a river. Quite, quite scary especially combined with those winds. Today is our first dry day and the forecast is for more of the same for the rest of the week. A brief respite at last!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-21806597621910518022012-11-26T20:35:04.051+00:002012-11-26T20:35:04.051+00:00Goodness, I hope last night's rain didn't ...Goodness, I hope last night's rain didn't cause you too much trouble.<br /><br />On the face of it we're okay here, the flood plain is flooded - as it should be - and the houses, which are on higher ground, aren't. But the farmland has been reduced to pond and bog, and this after such a wet summer. In tiny rural communities everywhere all is doom and gloom. And now they tell us a dire winter is headed our way!
