After a night's (usual) heavy rain, this morning we had about an hour of torrential downpour - complete with hailstones.
The drains on the road, which had been reasonably OK coping with the heavier than average downpours this year gave up the ghost, and we were inundated, with some never-before-seen-sights in our new garden:
Meanwhile back in the house:
The drains on the road, which had been reasonably OK coping with the heavier than average downpours this year gave up the ghost, and we were inundated, with some never-before-seen-sights in our new garden:
 |
| off the fields and on to the road |
 |
| at our gate - the drain just can't take it |
 |
| and in! |
 |
| down into the garden |
 |
| and on down the yard |
 |
| in through the front gate.... |
 |
| the side gate ... |
 |
| and over the front step |
 |
| down to the garden |
 |
| we have a lake! |
 |
| and in the 'vegetable' garden |
 |
| paddy fields! |
 |
| here there are newly planted cauliflowers - it said keep them well watered! |
 |
| a new water feature beside the green beans - there's rhubarb there somewhere |
 |
| our placid little river |
 |
| now a raging torrent |
 |
| Furby surveys the front garden/river |
 |
| the kitchen is awash |
 |
| thank goodness for wellies |
 |
| the Turnip House Courtyard |
 |
| still, at least all our new works are nice and dry |
 |
| a touch of Venice! not that bad! |
