The State Of The Ground.

[jparx]

Bound to be some big puddles after such a huge amount of rain. They tend to look scary, but will dry up quite quickly with some dry weather.

It's rained much more here in Notts than down in Pilton by the sounds of it, and the ground around here (at the Uni, so a fair amount of footfall) isn't too bad considering. A day of warmer, dry weather will sort it out quite easily. We've got huge puddles like the above, but I just walked across the field in my work shoes and it was fine.

So that burst was 2mm, mostly in my house, in a short space of time.

well sticky stick = no water in the bottom. 4 inches of wet below the surface

big dog got dragged out before he added to my wet carpets

I hope your house is ok!  Big dog either looks unsure as to whether he wants to be outside or is pulling you so hard that everything is a blur

Yer the house will survive. Pilton digger will have fun tonight trying to find the leak and blocking it up. That’s the trouble with old houses.

still can’t get out the back gate yet. It’s below the pavement level and is flooded.

Dee: Help, my house is flooding!!

Efests: Pfft, what about the ground woman??

?

[Skoo]

Glad the house is OK @deebeedoobee

For what it's worth I'd love to come and live with you, old house or not! Such a beautiful part of the country.

Once stayed at the airbnb at the farm next door - the one with all the chickens by Gate A that own loads of the land. Have to say I was incredibly envious of them. Felt sorry for the chickens though.

Tell me about it. Do people have no compassion? 

 

Ah no of cos there are bigger fish to fry (or swim in my house).

Fingers crossed it's not caused too much damage x

Seriously if that road was a proper road with drainage this would even be a problem

Thanks Skoo. Yes there are some nice places in Pilton although that chicken farm smells rank in summer just before they have a change over of stock. That long road is part of my running route. I try to hold my breath but it’s too long a stretch.

Cheers Quark. I think we are used to it now. Surely there can’t be many more places to patch in the roof!

Can I ask did you move to Pilton because of the festival or did you grow up there?

Neither. We moved here because at the time it was equal distance to both our work places, and we found a wreck we could afford. Festival is a a rather nice bonus.

Maybe a bit late to the party with this, but getting major 2016 flashbacks with the pictures of Download  this year:

Fingers crossed they don’t hog all the metal pathways this time.

We won't need them, it will be a dust bowl by the time we get there ?

[stopwn1981]

I’m just glad the festival isn’t this week that’s all I’ll say.
