    I dug a drainage ditch a couple of years ago, complete with yellow pipes etc, and its not been as bad since, but the walls still suffer with damp.
    Just paint the floor pale blue, and halfway up the walls too. Then paint the top half of the walls in white, and you have an indoor pool!

            I 'm really sorry for all you suffering from flooding. Luckily we're above the local flood plain , mind you the lawn is getting very boggy like and the racetrack that the dog has created is looking more like a pond. Haven't been up the lottie for a fes days so fingers crossed that it's ok and my shallots haven't floated away.
            Will we ever get any decent weather .

              Lots of flooding round here. Our local river (The Mole) was bursting its banks at Brockham this lunchtime. There's a poor soul living at the bottom of the horses' lane with a lake outside their house and under the garage, thanks to a poorly maintained ditch over the road. I always feel really bad passing through the lake, as it sends a ripple of water into their drive, no matter how slow I go. Hope everyone's houses are ok. My ponies have got webbed feet, now, I think...

                  My village is on the top edge of valley, the river in the valley is up and over its banks, we now live over looking a vast lake, but this is normal for here.
                  Take care all!

                    All our roads in and out of the village had turned into fords yesterday, luckily they have started to drain and this morning was passable

                      I woke up this morning and thought I'd managed teleportation in my sleep. I thought I'd woken up in the Lake District!

                      There are streams where there once were ditches, rivers run where streams used to meander and small ditches have formed where ground used to run flat.

                      It's not even that hilly round here.

                      Hope all are well.

                        Our stream broke its banks yesterday into our neighbour's field, the banks of the stream are 6ft high above the normal stream level. We also have a lake for an orchard. Luckily we are higher than the orchard
