Good morning All and I hope you had a good Friday. We, of course, had a hair-raising night due to lots of flooding. You don’t appreciate how much water is actually coming down when it rains but as we already have had a lot of rain this just added to the problem! The water tables are all full and the ground is saturated so it has flooded. We live on a hill so we are very fortunate but the flood plains around the village and further afield are flooded alot!
The water in the distance are the farmer’s fields.
This is next to the road opposite our Park in the village and as you can see the Canada geese are taking advantage of it!!!
This is further along in our village and the river has burst it’s banks, normally there is a bend in the river here which is now underwater!
Where the Boys work, they could not get out of work so Eldest went with the rest of his work friends for a drink until it had all calmed down and it took Youngest three hours to do a normal journey of one hour!!!!
Anyway Monday is the start of the Stitch It & Gift It Blog Hop and here is a list of the lovely ladies taking part. I am on the last day, Friday November 15th, so please come back and see what I have been up to. I will be finishing them off this weekend!!!! Thanks to Carla at Creatin’ in the Sticks for planning and organising us all.
Have a Wonderful Weekend and enjoy Hopping along with us next week.

Yikes, flooding is never a good thing. I hope this means that you are all done with rain. You certainly have had enough!
We desperately need some rain. I don’t think we have gotten more than a trace since June!! I’m so glad you are doing the Stitch It and Gift It blog hop with me!!! Perhaps we shouldn’t look at each others blogs that day…what do you think??
