Well - it's a flood! The field behind us is like a reservoir and is draining off into my garden and a couple of others. Spent most of the day using a massive broom pushing the water out. Not really deep but 4 inches was more than enough. Next-door neighbour's lawn and driveway was even deeper.
It was a lot of hard work but between us all we managed to make lots of channels to drain a lot of the water away.
Tried everywhere to get sandbags - just none about. The house is surrounded on 3 sides with water just glad it's not mixed with anything nasty.
Only a couple of inches at moment just waiting for the rain get heavier.
Good job I learned to swim. Have had to change clothes 3 times today - not going out again.
Wish I had a sailing boat.
Well - it did get worse and was just lapping at the door - no idea why no water came into house. Neighbour managed to get some sandbags delivered to block the water getting into thier garden - but it just channelled into my and other neighbours gardens. None of the rest of us could get sandbags or help as our postcode was marked as dealt with.
Water has now all drained away - just leaving the mess outside for a while. I do appreciate that it is much. much worse for a lot of people.
Oh dear @Flossy ๐ง๐ง๐ง thats not good. I hope it is starting to clear now.
That doesn't sound good @Flossy ๐ง๐ง๐ง we're surrounded by water too - but with us, it's natural!! Raining and blowing hard here this morning. Hope your flooding doesn't get any worse.
