Flood

 Well, we had lots of rain again yesterday and the ground was already soaked. Unfortunately this meant that early evening brought a deluge of water under the door and into the house again.


We were very grateful that Bruce had time to pop up with Tor and make us some sandbags and help clear up the water otherwise we would have been in trouble. Mental note to contact roads to see if the can clear the ditch on the road so it doesn't poor down our drive!!

This morning  Jill was outside clearing the drain and digging trenches to try and drain the water. She actually found a hidden drain under the mud that is now clear and working. Hopefully we will have a couple of drier days so it drains.








This afternoon, to warm up, Jill painted a coat on the ceiling in the bedroom.

 Tonight we are off to the village Hogmany which will be good to get out.

 Happy new year everyone.
