We were sitting in the grange with candles lit quite expecting a storm, when it came. The electricity went off and the rain lashed horizontally in to the grange. Our new flood defences stood no chance as the rain lashed in, never even touching the ground where we had spent many days laying drains. The two houses remained dry but the dependance that is normally used for storage is underwater ... again. Back to the drawing board on that one.
Our German neighbours who sold and who went back to live in Munich left bedding and household goods that they could not fit in the car when they left and we are storing them till the end of Sept. They will be pleased to read by a stroke of pure genius on my part I had carried all the things in to the nearby pigeonnier to be on the safe side only a few days ago.
The storm may not be completely past as there are still rumblings and the meteo says there could be more before midnight.
Our youngsters found it quite exciting and were very helpful dashing around with candles.
The new French neighbours came to tell us their electricity was off and it is hard not to smile. They will get used to it and become more accepting as we are.
Hope everyone else is OK and not had damage.
