The floods in the Midlands are horendous - and I half-expected we'd be the only ones to mark mum & dad's 65th......I went for a run to just short of the bridge this morning (in the rain) - which I reckon was getting on for almost 2.5 miles.
Dad & I popped to Tesco - where I bought the final JK Rowling offering, as well as some rations. The old bridge in town was closed with the waters rising - so we had to make it back by another route. Dad & I later went back to the bridge to do some "disaster viewing" - there were several houses under water - and the river had burst its banks.....
Dom, Quentin et al all finally made it and we had some sandwiches then had a meat feast in the evening (the BBQ was cancelled as the weather was still shocking). Q&L only just made it here as most of the roads they usually come on were closed due to flooding.
The children all played really well - Abigail & Jemima looked after Grace, Henry, Charlotte & Joseph and it was good to see them all get on so well....
