Extent of British flooding?
 

Hello, I am travelling to Britain in the beginning of September,
planning to visit Yorkshire and Cumbria. Has the flooding been a
problem there? My own internet research doesn't come up with a map of
affected areas. RSVP,

There was flooding in some parts of Yorkshire. Everything is pretty much
back to normal, at least from the point of view of a visitor.

Thanks, that's good news.

Let's hope the rains won't affect the blackberry harvest this September. :-)

That's a good question. On some of our walks recently, it seems the
blackberries are a lot less further on than they were in recent years.

Oscar had a try over the weekend, and wasn't impressed. They were
already pretty good at the same time last year...

In the wild? I assumed that's what he was talking about. You can easily
get the greenhouse grown ones in the supermarket of course.

In S Yorkshire from a visitor's perspective it was back to normal one week after
the flood.

and taking into account that Yorkshire is about the size of the Netherlands.

There is nothing in the rules to prevent a further outbreak of flooding.

Wild as in growing along a fence in the allotment. Fruit is supposed to be a
month ahead of normal. The neighbour's apples look ripe and conkers keep falling
on our heads.
