Alex thinks that because England doesn’t have any hurricanes, earthquakes or major tornadoes, British people decided to keep the floods. It would seem to me that in a country where it rains so much, there would be a better draining system or something installed. If it rains an inch or so, everything floods, it seems. I believe the problem is also how humid it is here at all times and how soil simply cannot absorb any more moisture as it is.
In any case, when it rains we get some big surprises on the back roads. Last week, it took me almost an hour to get home from base because I kept being rerouted by floods—not signs or police officers but by actual HUGE flooding areas in the middle of the road. Our back yard (garden) backs into the golf course. Usually, I can see grassy area from the second floor of our house. But when it rains, the golf course floods….big time! Then I have a picturesque view of the water from my bedroom—I feel like I am at a beachside resort. Almost.
Last week, Mark and I decided to go on an adventure and follow the path that goes behind our back garden pass the golf course. Mark loved it! Getting muddy and walking through deep puddles—what boy doesn’t love that?
Right along the footpath:
This adventurous family showed us how it’s done—major puddle in the middle of our path.

“Yes, I know it’s not snowy. But I love my snowy hat. And I am going to wear it in England whether it snows or not”.
Cannot wait till it warms up and we can walk along these beautiful fields again!
Fun!!!
And then Mark asked me to take a picture by our street sign, just like we did four months ago when we first moved here.
Hopefully, we’ll get some snow this year….please…even just one day of snow would be fun. For now, we’ll be watching for more floods.
