I was planning a little pootle up Strata this weekend after the missus gets back from Oman, but just checked the forecast.....heavy rain starting later today, right through til Monday at least, with high winds for the duration, gusting up to 60mph.

Great.

Not that river me old mucker

.....it goes up and down like a tarts drawers but we are a few feet above it...its the rivers that cross the Strata Florida route (which do eventually drain down here though), when they are in flood its "watch your truck float off down the river" time....people have died up there offroading in rainy conditions doing just that.

Well.....................................

.....I managed to escape without incident LOL...but I have to say, he makes a mean jammy sponge cake!! But it was slightly painful....Mr DIY here trying to install a heavy chandelier on to a 300 year-old lath and plaster ceiling without bringing the house down, and yer man just stands here and watches...end to end.

It was probably my rippling six-pack though......

Funny you should ask, cos his 'friend' came in this morning looking at expensive lamps....still, at least he can chuck 'em in the boot!!
