Facing Flooded Home With a Smile

Yes people are suffering. The rain has started again. Sodden furnature llining the streets. And one bright spark sees the funny side. Even in the midst of it all.

Retaining a sense of humour helps everybody maintain a sense of proportion. Which isn’t easy given the scale of the wtecking rain in the English Lake District.

Flooding

Let’s have a thought for all those impacted by the heavy rain over the past days in Scotland and Northern UK. The local river broke its banks and rushing water flowed over the playing fields just beside where I am staying. No danger of being inundated although the houses in the picture have been. Having fast flowing, uncontrolled, water close by brings the danger of flooding close to home. Thankfully the rain has stopped falling and the sun has come out!

And a thought for the thousands of homes without electricity in Lancaster where the promise is that normal services will be resumed…on Tuesday.

Spot the Typo

Hello visitors. I’ve been fully engaged since getting back from Throssel with little opportunity to write a post, or even take photographs. So, to make a start again here is a picture I took a few weeks ago. The woman who made the sign only spotted it after she had posted it. With her wonderful sense of fun she decided to leave it and rely on visitors common sense.
