sandbagging

Trying to block the water from running down the millstream to stop the breach turning into a total collapse. Helpfully, just 100m upstream, the flooding has washed up tonnes of river sand, so we’ve bought the bags and filled them up. Mattie dreamily shovelled sand into one. Nell slept. Unfortunately for Ross the job of getting them in the river falls to him. 15 in so far, starting to see a difference. Got the waders on again.
