Couperman Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I am pleased to report the sun is actually shining down here at last, after about four days of solid rain, no fun when you need a new roof. I really feel for those flooded out in Sheffield and the Midlands that must be so soul destroying. Hope they all get back to normal soon. Kev.

susanbb Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I know the feeling. I don't need to fill up the paddling pool as the weather has done it for me Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky mark Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Its certainly nice to have some sunshine! It rained pretty much solidly from Thursday to Saturday here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Yep....I've done 3 hours pottering in the garden here in sunny Sheffield. A lot of it was clearing away the mud! Am exhausted. Managed to drag Him Indoors to the garden centre at Calver Sough, where we bumped into some old friends which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Still very wet around here. The riverside cafes in Stratford were under water on Saturday morning - Louise, where we sat last summer was under 2' of water! Hopefully, my grass seed will start growing, if it hasn't all been washed away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Blimey Tweed is looking quite high at the moment but still within its banks but I have had no where near as much rain as you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 The Eggman from the Farmers' Market has around 3500 hens - or at least, he did until Friday. He lost 2500 in the flooding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Oh my word....how awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Not sunny as such but I got sunburnt walking in the peaks on Sunday and we had a barbeque on Saturday. Relatively dry here. Does this mean the Cotswolds is a bad place to go walking and camping this Wed-Fri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I still keeps raining here on and off I am pleased to report the sun is actually shining down here at last, after about four days of solid rain, no fun when you need a new roof. Kev. and we havent even had out quote for our roof. My uitilty room is chaos as OH has nicked all the plastic drawers and everything else thats watertight to catch drips in the attic. Much sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 We seem to have escaped the worst of the flooding in Banbury. As Lesley has said, Stratford was rather wet on Saturday morning. The Cherwell is up to the back door of the sports centre, but not going in yet. In 1998 a lot of Banbury was flooded when we had those bad storms; the sports centre was closed for 6 months.
