Re: [lace] flooding in England,

2007-07-24 Thread Carol Adkinson

Hi All,

We have had my parents staying with us for a few days,a nd they wandered off 
to one of their favourite places on Sunday afternoon - they went to Altonm 
Water, a reservoir just outside Ipswich, in Suffolk, and said they had never 
seen so many tents being erected, rows of toilets, and all sorts of other 
marquees.   They said it was to do with a Scouting event of some 
description, so I wonder if this is it - or whether the event at Alton Water 
is a sort of 'over-spill' to the main event? We are about a two-hour 
drive from London, but thankfully, we are supposedly in one of the driest 
areas of GB - although we have had far more than our share of rainfall this 
summer, we have not been flooded, and the reservoir is picturesque - and 
large - in the extreme.So - I do hope all the scouting fraternity will 
enjoy themselves, and thank God tthat we are relatively unscathed with the 
awful flooding.

Think about Scouting authorities (in London area somewhere) who have a 
Centenary World Jamboree about to start (28th July) and they have 500,000 
people coming!!

I'm in the north of Kent - just across the River Thames from Essex, and 
we've not had abnormally high levels of rainfall.  Yes it's been very 
wet, but nothing really unusual.  Because last year was so dry the 
ground is still able to soak up water.  Terry is still walking the dogs 
across the marshes wearing shoes/trainers rather than wellie boots.


After a really grey and wet day yesterday, today is beautiful, a blue 
sky with puffy white clouds, a gentle breeze and around 22 deg C.
