I been skiing a few times, love the clear blue skys, cold and white. Still come back with a sun tan, on your face anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer of 2023, didn’t have to do it once. 36 minutes ago, chrisp65 said: Liability Larry. But yes, ponds plural. Just beyond the summer house and the fire pit, but this side of the double garage. Christ on a bike. I've taken 2 years of shit on here just for having a couple of sheds. Edited January 3 by sidcow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People see ponds and think of Chris Packham, Attenborough, Mo Mowlam, Ed Balls, that woman off Countryfile that sometimes has jeans a size too tight. People see multiple flashy sheds and think of Lee Anderson and Fred West. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's a little dryer by then! Tbh the normal roads are fine. Vast majority of the flooding is flood plains. I went to Ventura park yesterday (next to the Snowdome and Bowling in those pictures with flooded car parks) and it was normal (hell). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using old fashion wood,so inside there arent a problem. The anoying thing is that it is too cold to do things i was going to do outside this weekend. Move some snow from the driveway,and go fishing. Guess i will skip the fishingpart. To cold to stand still outside now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly floody route anyway, and can look quite dramatic when it's not really. Well, this time it was dramatic. It looked like Hanborough was in the middle of a lake. Morton In Marsh was Morton In Pond. The static homes next to the Avon in Evesham were looking a bit damp. The drains around Diglis in Worcester were kicking out water like little fountains, the water pressure being supplied by the slope up to the Bath Road, at a guess? The return last night went absolutely tits up at Oxford. There was a fatality at Pangbourne, on top of the weather, on top of shite GWR trains being AWOL anyway. Fortunately for the London bound there's the Chiltern line that serves Bicester retail hell and goes to Marylebone. We left a lot of folk in despair at Oxford.

With the amount of rain recently, everywhere in Worcester will pretty much be a kind of riverside walk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
