Awash

The roads were awash with the heavy rainfall today as I travelled down to Bristol and back to collect Dad. The flooded road I just managed to negotiate on the way down was closed on our return and the first alternative route was also flooded badly. Luckily, the second alternative was manageable (although still interesting!).

Dad and I are supposed to be going down to Hereford tomorrow evening; I think we'll see how the water levels go ... the R Wye is notorious for flooding.

It saddens me to see so much good soil literally going down the drain.

I'm about to go and shoot in my own big, warm puddle of a deep bath. Politically wrong but very necessary tonight.
