Re: The Rain
Heavy rain for 48 hours. The stream is overflowing and the surrounding meadows are flooded because the lazy farmer can't be bothered to clean out his ditches and the debis from the stream which includes half a dead sheep and branches he randomly lopped of one hedges for no good reason
Coming from farming stock it makes me so angry when I see lazy and bad farming practices taking place.
The council are no better, they no longer carry out winter ditching.

The main river is on the rise, it is already 3.1m up at the gauge, it takes a couple of days to really rise as it comes from the Welsh Hills.
It is the local rain which is causing the problems, the brook has already topped it's banks, the road drains cannot cope. I have standing water on my garden and getting into town is a no no.
It is like a small river going across the roundabout.
What is it like where you are?
