Raging torrents
We’ve had torrential rain the last few days and the rivers are super high. R and I went for a walk during a brief interval between downpours.
The Donich was very high, but the Goil was even higher. We walked round to the community garden, but nearly went back when we saw the path was under water for several meters. In the end we pushed on, but the boots I was wearing were not very waterproof and I could feel the water seeping in through them.

We then walked on as far as the big stone and were going to press on further but were stopped by the path being knee deep in water as far as the eye could see.
When we got home I had to dry my boots out on the drying rack.
The house looks a bit bare today as we took all the decorations down as soon as Mousemas was over. It always makes me sad keeping them up until the traditional Twelfth Night for some reason.
