The view from our back door today at high tide.
We have some amazing tides at this time of the year & you can just see a strip of the River Wyre in the distance as it bounds the fields.
This river can be almost crossed by foot at low tide & some of our cows used to get to the other side on odd occasions.
A different matter at a very high tide however & it can get to 100 metres wide & is very scary looking.
It has never come over the top of the bank while we have been here but we always think...one day!!!
You can see how much rain there has been looking at how the fields are water logged.
It shows it better large if you can be bothered to look at this very dreary picture!!
Three good things:
1. Pancakes for pudding.
2. Got through to Sky , they are sending an engineer out.
3. Two bricks bought with Alex & Williams name on for the new school extension at their old primary school.
So flat!! thought you were hillier than that.......we look the same our river is so high at the moment..............glad you got through to Sky..at last I'm STILL fighting those shitbags who made me cough up for an advertising service they didn't give!! Everything take so long...so frustrating!
@fannyb We are flatish though we live on a hill & so looking down a little on to these fields. Always happy to be higher than the sea!!! To the north of here on good days we can see the Lake District mountains & to the west of us about ten miles way ere Longridge & Bleasedale Fells.
I agree shitbags ..I am stlil paying for some useless domain website I got talked into !!!!
Gosh that is a scary amount of water!
Been missing out recently on comments but love the two bricks bought with names on for new school extension - generations of the future will love it!
You are really quite close to this river- the Wyre! Are you ever able to get reflections of clouds in the water? I'm going to do pancakes for 14th breakfast and try Yvonne's buttermilk sauce
@maggiemae Sorry to say it's quite a muddy river maggiemae, I think because it's tidal it just seems to stir all the mud up....we aren't in NZ you know with your wonderful turquoise rivers worse luck!!!! good point though & I will have a go next time when it's sunny!!
@judithg If we flood here Judith it's a disaster for everyone around us, we are the highest point in the Fylde. Must be terrifying being near flooding.
It's so depressing seeing all the flooded fields. At least we have a few dry days ahead (apart from Thursday!) - if we are wet everybody else is wetter - let's hope we can all start to dry out.
Looking at the enlargement really shows the wonderful details in this rain soaked landscape! Looks like you could use a few sunny days over in your corner of the world, Pat.
