Nature in all its fury!

Quel monde formidable or loosely translated ~
What a wonderful world!

It’s certainly a wonderful, albeit at times formidable, world and the elements can often seem unstoppable as demonstrated recently, when our peaceful village roared to the sound of the normally gently flowing burbling brook turning into a raging torrent after in excess of 24 hours of very heavy showers and more prolonged rain.  Funnily enough almost 12 months to the day since we last saw this, although I think it happened more recently, when we were away in England.
The pictures, before and after, speak for themselves:

“Our” stream

The Ford


 
As you can see we couldn’t get across the bridge or wade through the ford to take the picture the other side!
On the way back from taking some pictures we met our neighbour who wanted to know if Linda had had a good time in England, and had she gone from St Malo on the ferry, he then added, with that twinkle he has in his eyes, particularly just after lunch!, that if it continues to rain for much longer we could take a boat to England from the bottom of the garden!!
