Wet, Wet, Wet

We have had so much heavy rain this week that has caused flooding. The river Eden flooded into the surrounding fields and many of the roads on Wednesday were barely passable. I had one day last week on a frosty morning digging over the last part of my allotment. By the time I had finished my boots were 2 inches higher with a layer of sloppy mud.
We have recently bought a touring caravan so have been out exploring.
