And down came the rain ....
If you are wondering why I am a little tardy in attempting a post it is because I have been on my feet looking after people stranded or evacuated to the Abbey for the last twenty-four hours. I am now going to crash into bed and sleep.
If you want to know what the floods have been like, let me say this. Another three feet and the Abbey would have had very wet floors - and we would have had to move a lot of people sleeping on them. The BBC Gloucestershire has some pictures.
And now to sleep!

Gorse Fox has been thinking of you and the people of Worcester, Upton and Tewkesbury. He hopes all is under control and is well for you and yours.

Thanks GF, the whole area is on Red Alert as there is another five feet of water coming down the Severn. And the rain is still falling!

I hope you stay safe and dry. Be careful of floating bugs and ants... I know...

So far I am dry and OK, but many of my friends are now under water and I am looking at how I can find sleeping space for several of them in quite a small flat. Posting may become a bit erratic!
As our water suppliers pumping stations and treatment plants are now under water, we may lose the water supply in the next few hours. Just shows how reliant we are on our technology in this day and age - and how easily it falls apart.
