Flood (again)

During the school holidays, I spend some of my days working from home, so that I can be with Dan and Abi. Today, Dan had gone into Lancaster and I arranged to pick Abi up from her mum's at one o'clock.

Except it didn't work out like that. Heavy rain had left roads flooded and in the end the only way I could get to her was to go down the M6 for a junction and then approach from the south. (And what bemuses is me that after every bout of rain, the flooding seems to be somewhere different.)

Eventually, I got to Abi but only by a rather convoluted route, including this bridge. I've been this way before and I think the river is little more than a stream but today you couldn't even make out its usual course.
