Of Rain Plenty of Rain

Wow! Have we had some raid recently! Apparently we've had a month's rain in just 24 hours. This doesn't surprise me for the river to the back of my house is looking really angry just now. Normally you can walk across it in some places - or at least wade across. Not any more.
The children's tyre swing which is usually a good 3 metres from the river's edge is now touching the river. Apparently there's more rain on the way.
Whenever we get huge amounts of rain friends phone to ask if I'm ok but the river has never got near more back door - not by a long way. It means I can sleep comfortably at night. But it does mean no goes on the swing for a good while - how annoying...
