Here in East Anglia we don’t usually get that much rain. However, last Sunday was an exception when it rained heavily all day. However, I do like to get outside and walk, and so I put on my wellies and enjoyed a tramp around an almost deserted village. Our road was flooded, as you can see:
The water swirled around my ankles, but it was fun splashing around in my wellies like a little kid! Hope the rain stops soon, as we’re off to the Isle of Wight again tomorrow for 5 days where we’ll close the van down for the winter before returning home. I hate the thought of it being drained down and out of use, but hey, there’s always Springtime just around the corner…

Wow, looks like a swimming pool! 😦

By the time we get home on Tuesday it’ll probably be a lake. It hasn’t stopped raining for two days now.

Although we are very fond of the rain and welcome it, a few days off would be good too…

That does look very wet, Stevie. It rains a lot on the British Isles. I prefer that. I wish we would get some rain. When it comes it buckets down and we get flooding like in your picture but within 30 minutes or so. Then the sun comes out and the water steams in the heat.

We don’t usually get such heavy rain, maybe only a few times per year, but on Sunday it rained heavily all day, and that was the result.

Instead of rain go away, ask for it to go where it is needed – in a safe and gentle manner. Here in Australia we are either in flood (often in areas that are built-up and unable to cope) – but no rain for months and years in other places. I’ve had to buy in water as our tanks are dry but am lucky there is water available, at present, to access. Other regions whole townships are out of water, cracked dry dams for livestock. One time when I was camping and a call of nature at night occurred, I asked the rain to stop until I got back from the toilet block – I unzipped the tent and the rain stopped, I got back and the rain started and continued through to morning. I got my wish without the local community being compromised. I thanked the rain. Intention is a very powerful tool 🙂

We have hosepipe bans now and again, but usually our water supply is constant. I can’t begin to imagine having no rain for months or even years.

Both extremes of drought and flood leave heart-break in the midst of devastation. I hope the flooding in your town was contained to the streets, and that the insides of houses and commercial buildings were spared – and the plants and gardens recover quickly from the over-abundant water.

Hi Suzann. Fortunately the flooding affected only the road. Our house is at the top of a slight incline, and so that helps too.
