Oooops! Sherry, it seems you know something that I don't! I have not heard about any recent flooding over here, but then I hardly ever read a daily newspaper and usually manage to miss the evening news programmes on TV due to my being on-line or otherwise occupied. Nevertheless, thank you for your concern.

If this happened on Tuesday or Wednesday, we did have a couple of hours of the wet stuff falling on both days but it amounted to very little - just enough to prevent me mowing my lawns. In fact we desperately need rain, and a lot of it. Here in the south of England we still have a hosepipe ban as a result of the extremely light rainfall during the past twelve months. Our local reservoirs are, on average, only 20% full when normally at this time of year they would be 75-80% full. If we have another dry winter we will be in serious trouble next summer! So: let it rain, let it rain, let it rain (but not to the extent of there being flooding!).
