The Moor this Afternoon

Floods are finally going down.

 

This one is from the top of Burrow Hill looking toward Muchelney, the village that was cut off.

 

Nice photo's Zigs!!

Makes my water-logging look like a piddly puddle

 

Cheers Mum Plenty of Willows down here if you want em.

 

I'll get me wellies on, Zigs

(I've convinced myself the only reason I have a piddly puddle is because previously the willow would have gulped it all up!)

 

I'll probably have a few bare rooted ones if you want, its getting dark here now but i'll have a look in the morning, had some in pots round the back that might still be alive.

 

It's good to see things improving Zigs. Fingers crossed now for a good spell of dry weather to help it all dry out.

 

Thinkin about digging a girt sump in the middle of it, selling the rock that comes out & using the water that stays in it to defeat the oncoming hosepipe ban.

 

What hosepipe ban would that be then Zigs? Are you trying to tell us we're going to get a decent summer next year?

 

Nice shots. does this happen often in that area.

 

Not this bad Esther, the shots today is what its normally like at the end of winter, not this side of christmas. Not known villages to be totally cut off since the 1960's

Sheal, the water board will tell us its the wrong type of rain before putting the price up

 

Oh, bear in mind that all the lakes in the pics are normally fields.

 

We have some low lands in my area that flood like that when the streams crest after lots of rain.

 

Got any pics Esther

 

When they flood, and I have my camera with me, and happen to be by that area in the daylight, I will take the pic.
