..... because we could do with building another ark!! We have had rain, rain and more rain, and although we haven't been as badly hit as some towns, there has been some flooding. I took these photos this morning, when the river had gone back down quite a bit, but some of them show just how high the water got.
the river here is feet deep, where it is usually just inches deep
these trees are normally at the water's edge
if you look at the centre of the photo, you can see debris caught under the bridge
there is a small island under these trees!!
you can see the line on the bank where the river reached its highest level
this is a large tree trunk, jammed against the bridge
the noise of the water rushing past is frightening
But of course it's Friday, which must mean it's time for Annette's latest masterpiece!!
yes, it was as delicious as it looks!!
Finally, we just want to say a very big thankyou to everyone who has left comments and sent e-mails. There have been tears reading them, but there has also been laughter - Malcolm hadn't ever thought of his Dad as a handsome man, but of course he thinks so now, when several people also said he looks like his Dad!!
Have a good weekend, love, Anne
