Re: And it just keeps getting better!
Good grief!! I hope it stops raining too...
You must be really worried. Hope you're OK hun.
They have had serious mudslides in Crumlin and all the trains from Cardiff to Bridgend and Merthyr have been cancelled because the line is unpassable due to floods.
We have a stream in the ack garden which wasn't there yesterday and have water running down the sides of the house as the wind/rain has brought all the needles off the pine trees into our gutters and blocked them. We also have rain pouring down the chimneys and the central heating boiler keeps going out as the wind is blowing rain into the exhaust.
Just hope the roof stays on.....

Just hope the roof stays on.....Rain is stopping and starting now.....and we've had no winds today, just heavy rain!!! Even had to use my daughter's 'Blue's Clues' umbrella to walk home with....LOL
I'm standing on the bridge that is the main road here......won't be a road for much longer if this rain keeps up though!!!
Hope your roof stays on!!!!

EVERYONE CAN STOP PANICKING!!! British summer officially starts on Monday next week - then it has all week to dry the 'bog' in the grounds of the hotel where i'm gettin married next Friday - ordered the sunshine especially for Friday 3pm exactly for the rest of that day! I'm sure winter will then start in earnest on saturday 13th september.......... Diz x

Re: And it just keeps getting better!
what a wild night - been up since 4am whilst the wind and rain lashed the house. I feel for OH and his mates - they are on his stag do all day starting at 8am travelling to paintballing in a forest in this weather!! I'm sure by the time they hit Manchester tonight, none of them will give a bigger about the weather. Thanks for the goodwishes for Friday - I am so excited!
