Keeping the Flag Flying

This morning's high tide caused all sorts of disruptions to the railway and along the sea front. The heavy rain is causing flooding to roads and properties along the River Teign between Chudleigh and Kingsteignton. It seems as nothing compared with the misery up north and the further flooding that storm Frank is causing today throughout the country.

I hoped that the continuous rain might slacken off by this afternoon so I offered to take Marian into Teignmouth for her dental appointment. It didn't, but while I was there I braved it to get out on the front and take three or four shots before retreating back to the van to dry out.
