Thanks trickey and dogs,it was quite a sight to see! Well captured pics there trickey.We were going to go to Apperley(another of my favorite places)but were worried we may not be able to get back,we were wondering about Willow hill farm where we take our caravan in the summer,the field there tends to flood.We haven't been able to go away anywhere this summer due to the persistent rain and floods.

Avoid Stratford Upon Avon at the Moment. Also Places Around the River Severn Including Bewdley, Tenbury Wells.

To be Honest you could run into Floods anywhere in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, West Midlands (Especially South of Dudley) and Worcestershire.

From the bbc

The Gloucestershire town of Tewkesbury remains almost completely cut off - and Severn Trent Water is warning householders in the north of the county that water supplies could run out by early Sunday evening because a treatment plant has been flooded

Yea the latest here is the river severn is worse today with more flooding in places....Water Board flooded for the first time in living memory,Pipes of drinking water will run out in Tewksbury/Gloucester/Cheltenham sometime today.Expected to last for a few days,Emergency services going to distribute water

to diferent places where needed.Advice not to fill baths up ....easy for them to say!shops people will buy many bottles of water/pop/ect...could run out

plus heavy rain expected here and surronded areas....River Severn swelling I dont know if records are broken yet on the size of river...

Overall a grim picture here and around these parts////and others
