Water, water everywhere

We live at the top of a hill. At the bottom, on my usual route to school there is a bridge over a stream. Yesterday due to all the rain the stream had turned into a raging torrent running across the road. After going through the torrent a lorry had broken down. The resulting traffic chaos meant the morning school took me 2 hours. Aaaagh! Going through the flood water was quite scary, I wasn't sure I'd make it. Some dramatic scenery where rivers had overflowed their banks & turned into lakes.

Talking of water went in with J to his swimming lesson yesterday. The lessons got off to a bad start because he hated them, mainly because he had to be in the learner pool. Now he's gone up a class so he's in the big pool although he's still by far the biggest in the class. He is actually doing very well now & is quite fast.
