Hells bells....... just nipped into local town and back - East Sussex is now one large puddle.......... facepalm
Very hacked-off chooks lurking under covered part of run, or sitting inside on perches trying to grow webbed feet - garden utterly waterlogged, madam's raised beds heading towards being underwater beds...... and just to put the tin lid on it, foolishly looked at the week's forecast - HEAVY RAIN every day this week! help
Now, if I uproot the shed and invert it, do the same for the chook house, and dig the 50 year old Seagull outboard out of the garage..........
Anybody else rapidly submerging?

Sorry to have to tell you this but its springtime in the Greek Islands 18 deg today and all the flowers are blooming. I knew there was a reason why I left England all those years ago!!     My daughter Jade says Hi.

Went to the Bluebell Railway with Centidesp yesterday, great day out 7 engines in steam to celebrate 50 years, but it was more like being on a narrowboat than a train, then almost couldn't get the car out of the relief carpark  Shocked what a swamp.

That's not far from here! It am hissing down - the local radio station has just reported that the Herstmonceux  weather station was reporting the highest rainfall in the country over the last few days (about 4 miles away) surrender
