Our house overlooks the river Teifi in Llechryd, and this was a picture taken from an upstairs window on the 8th of this month:
Everything looking fine - you can make out the bridge and its arches in the left background.
Since then, in fact only in the last two days, we have had quite a lot of heavy rain.
This morning just one week later at nine o'clock, I took a picture from almost the same position:
The arches have disappeared, and the lane at the bottom of the drive now impassable...
The same scene, just three hours later:
I just hope it goes down as quickly as it rose up!
Unfortunately I forgot to move one of the cars up to the car park behind us, something that is normally done when flooding is imminent...
C'est la vie, as they say.
Next meeting apres le deluge!
At least you're up on the hill out of the way. Do you have a canoe in the garage for emergencies? When we lived in Eglwyswrw we regularly had electrical blackouts in the winter and were glad of our coal fires for warmth, boiling water and heating things up.
