Tempest!

We woke this morning to almighty rain of biblical proportions. It eased off for a bit during the morning and we wandered around to survey the damage. The field at the top was now a lake, our pond had overflowed, the little stream running around our land had broken its banks and gushed into the Fairy Walk and the courgettes were underwater but still flowering!
I walked down to look a the normally calm little river flowing down into the sea - it was a torrent and the noise was incredible.
The rain is now fitful but the wind has got up and everything is happening, often together.
Cheered up only by a lovely handful of postcards - Touchnote is a fine thing, I couldn't understand why so many were coming from Guernsey!!
