What a difference a few days make this area was devistated by flooding, the river level was over the flood defence walls on both side homes shops and office were flooded it will take months to fully recover but the work is underway.

Some areas here have experienced it too..from fires to floods.

[Diana]

for that reason I would never live too close to a river.

It's a fascinating view. It's amazing how much the water rose and how quickly it has receded. Hope the cleanup goes well.

Wild weather all over the world these days by the look of it. We have gone from fires to floods in some areas as you have probably heard.

Hope you haven't been affected by the floods and storms .

@stray_shooter All down to the force of nature Ron plus the efforts of the emergency services and the environment agency's, the clean up operations are now underway, although heavy rain is forecast for this weekend with warnings from the met office of more flooding around the country :)

@onewing Yes indeed Babs we have seen it on the TV news, fortunately we are in no danger of flooding unless Jenny leave a tap running, we have not suffered any damage from the 80 mph winds either:)
