We live in a very sheltered spot in Cheshire. We've had one days rain, heavy but not flooding.
Some high winds that brought a few branches down off trees in the park, but also lots of sun!!!!

We had our floods (Lowestoft) earlier this month. The trains went to pot so I couldn't make it for the work's Christmas do in Sheffield. The big boss lady put a tab behind the bar for everybody and my Sheffield colleagues were bringing in all sorts of goodies so I missed out big time there.

I'm due to go next week and my manager has promised to buy me a drink for Christmas and for having passed my PRINCE2 qualification - I'm buying her a drink to celebrate her getting voluntary early severence.

Over Christmas we have had very high winds, the fences around my garden can testify to this, however despite them being a blooming mess they aren't mine and I am not replacing them as I can't afford it. Unfortunately I don't think those responsible will replace them either. My fence that I had replaced looks lovely and sturdy still. No power losses so far and will keep my fingers crossed.

Further high winds are forecast here so will be battening down the hatches.

Likewise - Up a hill, above the snowline means that we are lucky when it comes to flooding. It gets exciting when the snow falls, but never dangerous. I feel for people living near rivers / on floodplains. Why we ever allowed building on floodplains is beyond me. Surely the planners and builders could get a little bit of a clue from the name 'floodplain'?

Hope everyone stays safe

Kent has been quite battered. Never seen so much continuous rain. Caught the train to Bluewater today and instead of looking at green fields, all you could see was water. Very windy too!
