Well we're used to lots of rain in this part of the world, but today's deluge was pretty torrential.

The road outside St. Mary's school in Ossy is about 3-5 feet underwater. I only came back that way thinking I'd miss all the traffic at home time. I imagine it was terrible when the children were leaving, and the new houses across the road were underwater too.

I've never seen the Tinker brook so high. It must have risen at least fifteen feet in the Foxhill Bank nature reserve. Any higher and it will flood over the path into the larger pond.
