Rain

Its official, we have had 34 litres of rain per metre squared in the last 12 hours. All the sluice gates are open, there are lakes everywhere there shouldn't be and I have to go out and get a puncture repaired - eyeuch What's it like in the rest of France - the local paper is even reporting how it is slowing the trains down Bourgogne 3 - good job that doesn't happen in the UK!

All dog walks are with wellies, Barbour Stockman with fleece under and hat. Normally this would be shorts, sandals and tee-shirt time... The little river near us should be less than a metre rather than width of a field either side...
