Flooding 2

... and here we are four months later

The 'flood prevention' scheme has created a flood zone:


It's gone 11pm and the neighbour bangs on the door to alert us


Every time a vehicle goes by the waves head for our front door


The fire engine pumps away the water for about 4 hours!


It's like a lake outside our house


'Where's the bloody drain?'


Still raining and still flooded


Next morning the road sweepers clear the drains for 3 hours!


It's a time-consuming process... thinks the driver


The water didn't quite reach the front of our house, but it was close!
