Flood Update - Still No Water!!

It is day 8 of the great Gloucestershire water crisis and we remain without running water. Thanks to rainwater, SUSLOL handouts and conservation, though, we continue to be hydrated if a bit smelly around the edges here in Redgrove Park.


Since water supplies have failed, many local citizens have turned to local water bousers for their daily hydrolic requirements. However, as demonstrated by these street urchins here, many bousers remain empty.





A view north from Churchdown Hill. The large flood in the distance is close to the Lewis Farm but they report that water levels have dropped there and their cows and pigs remain safe.

Water water everywhere and NO water: WOW!
Reminds me a lot of 1972 when the Susquehanna flooded and we had a swimming pool for a basement!

Update for you - as of tonight we can drink water again. Hurray!

This is another reason why Brits have no basements.
