Water water everywhere

It's still raining. When T woke up he said 'mum it really is morning, its not dark, its raining again, where has the sun gone?'

It seems that the main topic of conversation is the weather. How typically British. Worcestershire, Hereford & Gloucester have been badly affected. Oxford is expecting it next. It seems that the rain is running from the Welsh hills into the borders.

It's not funny anymore.

RAF and Coastguard helicopters have winched more than 100 people to safety and others have been rescued by lifeboat crews. It's all very sureal.
Our friends have family affected, the water is just inches from their doorstep, the garden is flooded & they've seen the fish from their garden pond making a bid for freedoom down the street.
