We are indeed talking of two different cloughs but I have spent many hours in both of them.

The flood was not entirely our fault, the dam was a beautiful construction with a steel cable across the valley between two trees and then all kinds of stuff piled against it. It was built over a few weeks and in the end we had a lake over 5ft deep which we could swim in. The Council people came up and decided it didn't have planning permission or some other such nonesense and decided to demolish it. Instead of making a hole in the dam and draining it slowly, Mr Dimwit Council Person arrived with bolt cutters and just cut through the cable. I am glad we were watching from a safe distance because the cable whipped across the valley quicker than an MP can claim expenses. Then the torrent followed and we saw the devastation to the allotment the following day.
Oh to live in those innocent says again.
