Swaffham Streets in Summer Spate

The sky darkened, car lights were turned on and then the five minute deluge began.

It appeared that the drains were not to cope but within fifteen minutes, except for some flooded hollows, the streets were virtually clear of the temporary sluices.

Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink

Here is one for the summer diary, lovely looking Geldeston pub is currently closed due to being islandised by heavy rain and northerly winds exaggerating already high tides.

Access is limited to boat travel, the hostelry doesn't have gas or electricity either. Cut off as well? No it never has any mains energy at any time!
