Awww Curly please don't give up yet... its sad and frustrating but things will come good.

Jeannine, hugs for you and John, i just can't imagine how you both feel!

Just a warning for tonight - Northerly Gales to affect Lincs and East yorks - not sure about anywhere else though.

Jeannine · « **Reply #61 on:** June 25, 2007, 15:26:37 »

Well we are now bogged down so to speak, there are only three ways to get to our house and all three roads are closed, and it is still chucking it down!!

John tried to get out in the car about an hour ago but had to turn back.

No buses either

He has now gone out on foot, the silly old twerp.

We packed a plant for mailing last night and he was determined to send it and we needed cat food..

It is about 3 miles to the post office.

I better run a bath ready for him.

It looks as if there is a fire hose turned on out there.WHERE is is it all coming from.

Oh and we have high winds now

Jeannine have you got enough food, torches and bottled water just in case??

Tulipa · « **Reply #63 on:** June 25, 2007, 15:33:33 »

Jeannine I have been thinking of you all day, hoping you weren't too badly affected but obviously are.. I hope you have all you need and that it all goes away soon.

Curly - other years haven't been like this, don't give up yet. I think most people have lost things at the moment, but it will get better.

Jeannine · « **Reply #64 on:** June 25, 2007, 15:39:56 »

Up date, we now have 47 schools closed in Hull.

One man has died after being trapped for 3 hours after trying to unblock a drain.

Louise we are OK, we have enough food etc in this house to last a year,it was just the cat treats.

We have candles and camping stoves, bottled water, medications, and when my beloved twerp gets home, everything we need. Our house has quite a high step front and back and it is so far not up to the house, the water is about 3 feet from the bricks, but we are fine.

Door has just slammed shut, my hero is home. He got the food and the parcel is mailed.

Have you ever seen a 68 year old wrinkled drowned rat !!!!

My thoughts are with you both, can't believe the weather that you are getting.

Curly, please don't give up, its so rewarding when you get your first harvest. Though maybe next year for some...

Jeannine I hope things improve, just heard on the news that a man died in Hull due to the flooding.

I can't believe your weather! I'm so sorry for you - willing it to stop!!!

And hey - the sun's just come out here in London! No consulation to you, I know, but it's got to be an omen!

Things will get better. This is just a blip.

Sorry to hear about your disaster with the plot curly and Jeanine.
We had it bad in the night, but it is now dry. This morning they announced on the radio that the road by the allotment was flooded and closed, so I am not sure how the plot will be.
I might pop out after tea, if it is still dry, and have a look.

Aw that is so sad - all the crew trying to save him for so long must be devastated, along with all his family and friends - going to edit my other post now.

Hope the water stays 3 foot away Jeannine...

cambourne7 · « **Reply #70 on:** June 25, 2007, 16:09:10 »

next month we will be begging for rain ;D

And lets face it we need a lot of rain to fall to make up for the last few dry summers. Still its not fair that it should fall on just a couple of areas. The weather forcast shows the rain comming over east anglia overnight with stong winds. So you might have a dryer day tomorrow.

Jeannine i am sure John is all dry and warm now lets hope he does not get a cold from all this :D

Take it easy both of you.

SueSteve - dont forget the camera as if you need to make a run for it then you have a photo you can study of the damage in the dry. I hope its just the road. ;)

OliveOil - Looks like they did everything they could, how sad.

I have only just got around to reading this thread. Sorry to hear about your plot Jeanine and Curly. Looks as if most of us are going to be affected by all this rain. Fortunately our half plot is at the top of a hill so its not so bad as thones below us , but even so it is like mud. Had to go dig some spuds for lunch. The arran Pilot are producing massive spud but only 3 or 4 per plant. Or 2 plots in Erdington are sandy so are not faring quite so bad. Lets hope July brings better weather for us all .

Sorry about your flooding Jeanine and Curly. Look on brightside though at least its not your homes.

Marymary · « **Reply #73 on:** June 25, 2007, 17:21:38 »

Really sorry for the people whose plots are flooded - it must be very depressing after all your hard work. I know in the grand scheme of things is only a small thing but often it's the small things which really get to us.

can all those people who were performing rain dances earlier in the year please do a sundance for July. Thanks :)
