Over the weekend the floods hit across the country and even our quiet little village was cut off from the rest of civilisation! The main road from Pershore to Evesham had a 30ft section just disappear as you can see from these photographs. The road left a 30ft deep hole so I can’t imagine they will be fixing this in a hurry!

We lost power and water for nearly 24hrs and were stranded for a couple of days, though thankfully our house did not flood – although other residents were not so lucky. A friend of mine spent the night in his car on the M5 motorway, whilst another had 3ft of water in his house – and there are reports of more rain yet to come over the coming week

Is this all to do with global warming or just good old Blighty weather? I could understand it happening during the rainy season but not July! It should be BBQ weather not floods.
