Rain..and more rain

The weather forecast was for very heavy rain this afternoon and evening and there is a 'Flash Flood' warning in place until tomorrow afternoon.  It is certainly very wet indeed.

The trees are heavy with water and the ground awash.

At the side of the house the drainage channel has become a water feature.

We have just bought an outdoor table, chairs and mat, planning for the summer weather - not much use at present!

This evening, driving home from Pilates, the heavy rain created coloured reflections of the traffic lights - there is no other road lighting, which makes lane control and navigation a little difficult..
