Water, water, everywhere

There's plenty of water around our village and in our garden, but I'm so grateful we've been spared the dreadful flooding in the North. I am really worried about old friends around Whalley and Ribchester in Lancashire. I used to mess around in a canoe on the Ribble at Ribchester, but it was almost unrecognisable on the News last night. Wishing the rain would stop!
