« Recovery in the community ... | Main | We have water! »

Receding slowly ....
The Flood peaked on Monday so we are told and there has been a steady fall in the levels. Electricity has also been restored to most of us (as you can see - I am back online!) but the one key thing that will not be so easily restored is our water supply. That will take between seven and fourteen days. No baths, no washing up, no flushing the loo ...
Now is a good time to invest in deodorants and other "household" perfumes ....
The water sneaking into the Abbey via a low drain that has reversed its flow.
Abbey Mill and the Ham at the height of the flood. Note the water has reached the first floor.
The former Abbey School in Gander Lane and Gander Lane itself filled with water.
And looking west towards the confluence of the Severn and the Mill Avon at Lower Lode. The line of trees in the middle is the Severn ...
Rain is forecast for the next few days, but is not expected to produce a rise in the water levels. We will just have to hope and pray that the rivers continue to fall back from their current height and that the Water Company can get their filtration plant and pumps running again quickly.
Thanks to all who have prayed for us and supported us through this disaster.

Can you send that water down-under to help with the drought?
