We have now had four months of continual rain. I have never known rain like this in my lifetime and they are saying in the newspapers that the south of England is having the wettest year since records began. They are also forecasting more to come for weeks yet.<\/p>\n

All the areas around are experiencing flooding and a lot of roads are closed. Other parts of the country have much worse floods with many homes flooded and I feel so sorry for them.<\/p>\n

The woodland near us is under water and it is creeping over the road. I decided to take my camera with me today when we went out to do some chores and try to capture some of the scenes I drive past every day.<\/p>\n

I was stood out in very heavy rain while I took these first photos.<\/p>\n

The river levels are going up and down but the woodland areas are remaining under water because the ground is so saturated that the water has no where to go. It will be a long time before everything gets back to normal. We are lucky compared to other parts of the country and my heart goes out to those flooded out of their homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
