March 07, 2007: Rising levels

floodingThe price of being snow free is having high water levels as the rain continues to pour down relentlessly. The picture shows our pond with water levels at previously unseen heights. Of course the cellar is flooded. We water-proofed it but only up to a certain height and that height has now been breached. Our water, never healthy at the best of times, is now coming out brown as the water table has overwhelmed the intake point. Tony’s next worry is that the pump itself will be waterlogged.

Further out things are even worse with the main road to Kolind impassable and diversions in place.
