Extreme Weather – again (by sarah)
Within the last week we have had high winds, snow that blanketed the landscape and and more torrential rain - we are once again on flood warning etc...
The water has been divirted from the waterfall yet here you can see it looks worst than normal with the amount of water running through it :/
the diverted water is running straight into the trout pool behind us - from the pictures ypou can see just how much it is churning:
the levels are really up again resulting in the river bank dissappearing under water - believe it or not there are flood defenses under there diverting the river :/
Gilbert Barbaras little statue that sits in the water cress pond has already been washed away and we are hoping is once again lodged in the weir.
The gully where the water came through to flood us before is still holding up but we are hoping that the work thats been done in the waterfall tunnel is going to hold - the tunnel is now held up with metal joists but as they said we almost lost the thing in the last flood - we are a bit worried as if it collapses we are lickily to loose our garage and possibly the end of our house :/
A new stream trickel has also started up around the side of the Mill - not sure it really comes out in the photo but this didn't happen last time.
Sigh - the last record of flooding of the Bakery is 1750 I think my bad luck field has kicked in here :/
