As you have probably seen on the news, the West Country has been suffering from terrible weather and flooding for the last week. This was the railway bridge in the middle of our village last Wednesday. The road under the bridge is the only way from one side of the village to the other. We are on one side, as are most of the houses and children, the school is on the other. Needless to say this caused problems as at drop off time the bridge was open … one 12mile trip round and I managed to collect Ethan.
The rain and flooding has caused inconvenience for many of our friends and us, but we are so fortunate that our homes are safe and dry unlike so many around the country.
That afternoon was dry and bright, so we ventured into the garden and managed to dig 2 more holes. Ethan worked really hard digging and removing stones and small rocks.
We had arranged for Grandma to collect Ethan on Friday to go and stay for the weekend, we were planning on getting the remaining foundation tubes in and putting the frame up. Ethan went on his way and we woke on Saturday to steady rain and wind. Needless to say the job did not get done!
Sunday morning saw bright sunshine, but we were on the road to London for a christening and to collect Ethan and so the tunnel remains unfinished! Such a disappointment, but James has a few days off next week to get the job done. Fingers crossed for sun!
