    Only got some shots of the river, but a lot of the fields and a few roads are flooded again already. DSCF0011.JPG DSCF0013.JPG

                I'm on that map :) but I live on a white bit.

                Can see the floods from the window this morning, not as bad as the last ones though.

                    I'll be driving across (or through!) Sedgemoor to North Petherton on Tuesday, hope it isn't too bad then, I'll check first and may be go round East/ West Lynn.

                      Blimey, I've just looked up my area on that map and although I live on a white bit, there is a purple bit not that far away at all.

                          An interesting exercise is to see if you could get to the shops without crossing a purple Flood Warning area. If not stock up on bog rolls and buy an extra freezer.
