We've had a lot of wind but hardly any rain. Nevertheless everything is at saturation point from the rains we had last week. The sunshine over the weekend and today has been a welcome change.

All around us the Rivers Ure and Swale are in heavy flood but by and large everything is under control, although more rain forecast. This time the west has fared so very much worse than we have here in Yorkshire.

We were largely missed by this storm I'm relieved to say, although the river at the bottom of our hill did come across the lane in the middle of the night, but then dropped as quickly as it rose and the floodplain by Carmarthen has had a wetting.<br /><br />Simon - the Usk not too bad yesterday (when we were in Brecon) - average winter height I'd say.<br /><br />I trust that the sheep have been moved now?<br /><br />I feel so sorry for those folks in Cumbria, Lancaster and Westmoreland (oh and Scotland) who must have thought "thank heavens we have the new flood defence system" until even that was overwhelmed.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-48088500579775218992015-12-07T19:04:24.447+00:002015-12-07T19:04:24.447+00:00We've still not had rain here, windy but no ra...We've still not had rain here, windy but no rain.

I've never been there in such extreme weather like that. When we stayed at Gwydir , Judy was telling us in bad weather their grounds get really boggy so I imagine they are in a bit of a pickle also.
