The power of nature ๐จ๐จ๐จ
The river is very high

The fence is nearly completely submerged!

I dragged this out yesterday afternoon, not because I am particularly fond of it or the old wood inside it but if it floats away over the fence it will be a piece of single-use plastic further down the river!

The river breached the flood defences the other night and neighbours round the corner have been evacuated!

I am cheering myself up by packing my gift for the baby shower on Saturday โกโกโก
Apparently there could be another 10 days of this โโโ
Woolly wishes,
Jane โกโกโก
lovely knitting there!
and fingers crossed rain will stop so that flooding with cease!

Iโve been having stern words with Mother these past few days. How can all the birds get on with nesting and the plants growing for the insects with all these high winds and phenomenal rain? Anything is worth a try ๐

If the swans, ducks and geese had started making nests they have been washed away these past few weeks ๐ฃ
Again I would try anything if I thought it would make it stop โค

I am sorry for the flooding. Water is one of the most destructive elements. I must say, your knits are a bright spot though.

Thank you. You are right it flattens everything in its path and then there is all the mess to clear up ๐ฃ
There is a fridge freezer stuck in the branches of a willow on the otherside of the fence โค

What makes flooding so destructive is how it comes through any conceivable opening. Nothing stops it once it starts to rise. It seems to find cracks in walls everywhere. Very little is salvageable. I really feel for your community.

Sorry to hear of the flooding you are experience. Flooding is a frequent problem in my town also, which is on a river. I hope that your village returns to normal soon.

Praying about your flooding. It is scary. ๐ฆ We had some in my town the past year. Knitting is nice to get your mind off of things.
