Not what you expect in June!

We awoke this morning to a sea of water. We will take you on a photographic journey around our house...


Yes ripe strawberries float!!!

Our cellar air vent turned into a field drain!

And Tim's willow cuttings did not escape either... It's a good job they like water!

We have never seen it so bad at any time of year, let alone in the middle of June...

At the time of posting the sun is shining!!!

At least it's not cold...

You got the big storm in the Richelieudais before it started dropping hail bombs, thank goodness!

Tim says the willow cuttings look ok and shouldn't take any harm.

It had obviously gone down a lot by the time we arrived. I think you had quite a bit more rain than we did in LGP.

I picked up your blog via theemail feed. The very next email was from... MONSOON!

Looks like a fair amount of rain fell. When was it?

I hope the sun continues to shine on you.

Gaynor it was that morning... At least it has started to dry up, lets hope we don't get much more for a while.

Apparently, it's headed for the UK! :-(

Colin and Elizabeth said...

The Broad, Yes it looks as if it's heading your way... I'd get your wellies out now!

As a postscript to this post, when we woke this morning there was a good three inches of water in the cellar. The pump in the well down there had failed and water was pouring out of the well..... AH WELL!! Bailing out just completed, we're off to buy a new pump!

Goodness, that is a lot of water. It's been a strange spring and early summer for you hasn't it? I hope that you get a few dry days to let the ground recover.
