Flooding in Gloucester

It can’t have failed to escape your attention that we had a little rain in Gloucester over the last few weeks!

So much so, that all routes from Work to Home where flooded and I could not get home. T had to pick the kids up as myself and colleagues prepared to spend the night at work until the flood water had subsided. Fortunately, by Midnight, the rain had abated and the roads improved enough to attempt the drive home.

Spotted in the lanes around Tewkesbury...Jaws...

Finally made it home at 1am, and the kids came home at breakfast time. We spent the weekend dodging the rain, only for the water to be cut off Sunday PM, due to the flooding to the local water treatment plan. 9 days later we finally got tap water back, but for those 9 days, we have to collect bottled water from the supermarket and water from mobile bowsers just to eat, drink, wash and cleanse ourselves.

H & E were excellent thru, and now we can look forward to daily baths and showers again.

One of the aims since rebuilding the site has been to get a few videos as well as photos onto the site. Although I am presently having a few issues with photos I know this can be resolved by reverting back to a much simpler system but I will persevre for now.

But hopefully now I have solved the video problem.. click on the image below to see a quick clip of the kids. If it works I will be posting a few more.
