Floods!? After the dry summer we've just had? What's wrong with the ditches and drains nowadays?
Sorry, that was rhetorical - we know what's wrong with them - many ditches aren't maintained properly or have been filled in, and the drains are inadequate.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The floods don't affect us, thank goodness, but they do affect our ability to go anywhere. Most of water goes onto the flood plain, and we even have ditches down side of hedges by our street that take water to a huge soak away - and in this area are lots of 'dew ponds' I think they are called that collect surplus water.
Always think when I see them that the oldens really knew a thing or 2 about flood controll
A sad postscript to the story is that the bag containing the nappies was a lovely bag designed for nappies and changing things etc (didn't have such things in my day) which had been one of the presents given to the young mum by her mother .... who died a few weeks after her little granddaughter was born.

Oh, that is sad, I hope he dumps the bag and it gets found and returned, but I suppose it would have to have her name and details in it. When my car was broken into on the Cote d'Azur two bags belonging to my children were taken and they were dumped. 2 months later the police rang to say they were in the local Gendarmerie waiting for me to fetch them!
I like the Paradise too, pg.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Verdun - have sent you some crumble by esp! Lovely all my own produce. Have loads of apples and just thinking what else I can make?
Just found a recipe for apple and banana muffins! Might try them tomorrow.

Aple and raspberry crumble sounds really tasty

Had a phone call from daughter earlier - her friend was mugged earlier today in the street, while she had her baby strapped to her chest.
The mugger got away with a bag full of dirty terry nappies!!!

Evening all.
I'm now dreading fat club tomorrow as I have eaten half a cheesecake- I did have it instead of tea but don't think it was very good for me.
Not much on TV tonight and I'm tired so will soon call it a day and go to bed. Was pleased The Paradise was back yesterday, I enjoy that.
Oh, Dove, I think thats called Karma. I would have loved to see the muggers face when he stuck his hand in.
So would I FB.
