Cheers Purple thanks for the flood update. Some of us with long memories can remember when it used to flood part way up Turnells mill lane and cut the Waterways Depot off, no mention of Global warming then. What a good job your mother’s made of your rucksack. All the best.

Great video again, Purple. I think the clue is in the name 'The Nene Valley' - the water is inevitable, and will find a route, regardless of 'balancing pools' and any other man made structures. As you said, 'Mental'.

Thank you. Thing is you can tell the water is coming up from the ground and filling the land other side of the road to the river. I don't hold much faith in those balancing ponds

In '77/'78 when I was living in Higham Ferrers (1967 - 1992) the nene valley flooded badly and froze over and I learned to ice skate in the fields between HF and Irthlingborough! :D

I spoke to my mum yesterday, yep, this is just as she described. First thing she said was 'Wait until Stanton Cross is finished'. Great rucksack - top work from your mum. My mum used to play badminton in a club started by some people down there. Got dressed in my childhood with a couple of coats that did an 'exit stage left' out the factory, nudge nudge, wink wink! Happy New Year fella, know what you mean - these days I just wanna hide in the festive season!

Went out on the bike yesterday afternoon for the first time in a couple weeks, went down London Road heading towards Irchester and got to the embankment roundabout and looked to my left to seeing the entire lake flooded with ducks floating around on it😂 I was confused but not really questioning it, took me a good 20 seconds to realise that that never used to be a lake lol, then headed straight over the roundabout carrying on past whitworths and all the fields on the right of the road, going on for about 200-300 metres were just one big lake. For the past 2 weeks ive been off work, ive just been home, having a social cleansing, not watching the news or anything so this is all news to me haha
