Christmas Day may have started out peacefully but it was a bit troublesome as time passed. And now, we find ourselves in an area of severe flood warning.
After very little sleep, on account of moving things inside (me) and digging a trench and creating a wall with mud and sand bags (the men of our Road) until 2 in the morning, and then getting up at 6 to check on the water I can report that there is no water as yet in our road.
The next 48 hours will reveal whether there is further trouble to come, with storm Bella on its way.
I hope it all comes to less than the predicted trouble and that all is well. That is a marvellous image with all of its reflections in the unexpected water levels. :)
@robz@kjarn@onewing@dutchothotmailcom@pistache@haskar@stimuloog thank you all for your comments and concerns. The storm passed through without too much rain and all was well for us. Many in and around our town have had to evacuate and suffer the flood water in their homes. The people of Bedford have been amazing in offering support and help to all those affected.
@jerome what a lovely surprise to have you dropping by Jerome. I do hope that you are well and have time to relax over the holidays. We had no water in our street, so all is well.
@summerfield yes - you have a good memory. It was January, but there was not the same threat to property and lives as was this Christmas. Our Christmas day activity - is even reported in the BBC article here - I am glad that my whatsapp group created for COVID has come into its own! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-55451691
