Oh no, Rose!!!
Do you think, perchance, that 'due to cuts' the council haven't bothered clearing ditches/drains? - well not in any road where councillors don't live, anyway!!

We live at the bottom of a hill on the estate and the bottom part ( an unmade road with lots of potholes) leads directly to us and next door on each side , there are a couple of soak away drains which are useless. It's stopped raining now, and our front step is a little higher fortunately so I think the house itself is safe. Touch wood!


I said there would be 'a third thing' earlier today lol...trouble coming in 3s...yesterday the washing machine leaked over the floor and has a broken connection; the flat roof over the porch is leaking where it joins the house ( a few days back), and now this.
