The Rain

Yesterday I tried to get work - it was raining - no suprises yet then.  At the railway station, we queued up the steps staying out of the torrents.  A message was shouted accross - the Tunnel down the line was flooded - there will be no trains today.    We turn and head out - checking the buses - we get to the stop - we wait - a women passes - the Road is flooded in the other direction - the buses aren't running.  We give up.


Walking home through the deluge I catch sight of this - a little stream normally,  now a raging river attempting to leap the wall into the road.

However when I get home and nicely dry - the propect of a nice quiet day is ruined by the the children noisily returning - their school is closed!!!
