However this year we have been much wetter than normal with the bottom ditch backed up a number of times. The first of these was the worst when our front garden was also flooded with about 50,000 gallons of water. Actually that is not a problem as this sunken garden is actually designed to fill as a backup and once the rain stops it normally empties withing a day or so (rodding of pipes permitting by (resting for the winter) boat-crew in wellies wading about in 'Pear tree lake' with a few hundred feet of rods and a kit of fascinating attachments). > > However once our water starts going down - as it has since last night - then it and a lot of other water heads for the river Severn and of it goes to Shrewsbury, Bridgenorth and points south over the next few days. On the local radio there have been no flood reports from down there yet... > > David Cragg
