7.5.11

So earlier in the week the newspaper said we would be getting all sorts of weather this weekend, from warm sunshine to hailstones. Well today it started off dull but pleasant, was sunny and warm by the afternoon and then by later afternoon the heavens opened!

Its very hard to take a picture of rain, what with it being fast moving and see through, but believe me at this point it was bouncing. There was actually water seeping under the front door it was so heavy. Atleast Dads new plants got a good watering.

This puddle is at the end of my road. Doesn't look too bad right? Well it was about 4 times the size last night, covering the entire road. There was also a car abandoned just at the bend, which I think had drowned. I was all for leaving the car down there and walking up to the house, but my dad made me drive through it ( I think he didn't want wet feet). Thankfully my car didn't drown.

Also the town just down the road was being cordoned off by police due to a roundabout being completely flooded. (the 'puddle' must have stretched about 30 metres) and dad and I had to adventurise the long way home. Had there been flooding on that road we may have had to go stay with my brother or sister. The perils of living in the countryside.
