2021 - What I did today

Spent the whole day bailing out the patio, still raining or snowing now. Bought an electric pump which helps a bit but could only get a 10m hose and suspect a lot of water is draining back. One more session will hopefully do it. A little bit of water came under the patio door but hopefully will dry OK. The water seems to drain of the garden, next doors garden, the roofs and it was also coming of the side garden and running down the drive so 1 inch of rain probably becomes 4" on the patio. The whole garden is saturated.
