Flood

A drain in our next door neighbours garden overflowed this morning thanks to the torrential downpours all night. This resulted in all the water flowing off their garden and on to ours! The lawn was completely waterlogged and then the patio started to fill up. At its deepest it was up to our ankles. James and I spent over two hours trying to clear the water and keep it away from entering the house. We also had to wait over 6 hours for anyone from the water company to come out. We were told there was nothing that he could do as all the drains were backed up across the whole local area. We’ve just got to hope that it doesn’t happen again during tomorrow’s forecasted rain!
