So now the snow has gone what do we get? Two days of torrential rain and along with it – flooding! We went up about 2ft 6in at the weekend! Our gang plank was barely long enough to see George safely to the bank! It was at such a steep angle at one point (nearly vertical) we had to prop it up on the step usually used to get into the portacabin housing the boat yard loo, so George could get up and down it! Wellies were the order of the day for us of course.
Yesterday we went for a walk through the waterpark (ok, ok, yes we were going to the pub!) and some of the paths were practically impassable. Indeed, we did encounter a very deep flood on the way back, where I was in danger of filling my wellies, which are longer than Ken’s, so he stood no chance and had to take an alternative route home.
Today on our way back (from a different pub, George’s favourite) we saved a baby stickleback, which had become stranded on the path when the water receded …………… aaah, bless.
The forecast is for more snow tomorrow (Tues) night, hopefully it won’t be much.
