Floods

Do you have another car at home  or is the Picasso your only one? If there's a 2nd car, could someone bring it to you/ or the ferry so that you could come home & collect whatever tools you need to. Maybe take a few days away from IOW while you think it over?

No as I'm the only driver we only have the one car. Zebedee (the car) bless her, even though she had been sitting in 27" of water, started this morning to enable me to get her out of the garage. Having bailed out various cubbies full of water I left her in the sunshine to 'air' I tried to start her again but she said sorry mum I've given my last breath. We have arranged, at great expense, to get her shipped home to have a think about the way forward.  My lad is coming over to collect us tomorrow afternoon. Funnily enough Zebedee started for the  car transporter man. She's not giving up yet.

That news clip is amazing, I was sitting in that pub on that very seat on Monday, I feel so sorry for the publican, he's had a hard time  keeping the pub going and now he has this to cope with.  Makes my drama feel very insignificant in comparison. Our flat looks out on the road where the pub is. All the properties along the road and beyond have all been flooded.
The blue arrow marks the multi million pound flood defence wall that wasn't gated properly. The lake beyond is a grass recreation ground, it's slowly returning to grass.
