We got a digital rain gauge measure thingy. Sounds posh. Should have been £50 but where dad works they were chucking it out so he nabbed it 
We normally get 2-3 mm of rain. Today alone we have had 86mm and it is still coming! The other night we had 27 in 20 mins and 109mm in 2 days! Let's build an ark! |

A large amount of the Severn Valley Railway has swept away. And is going to cost millions to repair, that is the worst thing the rain has EVER done. It's a total tradegy, it's the sort of thing that makes you cry.

Jeez, you guys are really copping it.
We had a fair bit over the past 24hrs, again. I'm not complaining though. Been sent home with pay, early, 2 days in a row. |

My son can`t get to work at Rotherham this morning.
The M1 is closed, because a dam above it has cracked and is threatening to flood the area below it!

Bah! Was going to have a little Mamod steaming session with my mate tonight, but due to the weather and the knock-on effect on the trains, he has to stay for a late meeting at work (he works on timetables for Network Rail!)
I can't even get on with my restoration because all my engines and stuff are at his house

Sorry for your weather SteamGirl...tough when a planned steamup goes awry!!
BUT, it has to stop raining sometime...
Having mostly electrically heated engines myself, I "fire" them indoors all the time. In the past 6 months I have accumulated a fair few meths burning beasts and it is indeed nicer to steam them outdoors, so I empathize when the weather prevents that. Cheer up, the sun will return...hopefully!!! Roger |

It's been sunny here today, although there has been a strong easterly wind (I can tell by the way the tree outside my window is moving ).

It was p*****g it down when I visited a couple of years ago! One of my mates at Amberley said this about Blaneau Ffestiniog: The hills are grey, the houses are grey, the grass is grey, even the people are grey

Nope, but the guy who said it probably got it from him! Barry, when I went to Wales we stayed in a hotel in Llanberis so naturally we were surrounded by slate! |
