where my cousin keeps bees at Purley on Thames (Reading, berks) it is flooded and it is about 2ft above the usual flood leveal and a lots on new houses are flooded but my cousin said they would when Barratt Homes biult them in the 1990s, his hives are just off the flood plan and his house at mapleduram on the hill above the Thames now overlooks a vast lake as the Mapledurham Lock and Mill weir are running water over the sliuces with all gates up but it is only flood plan floods,
Surrey is worse affected as the Mole and other rivers have sliuce gates not fully open so as to protect Windsor and Chertsey
London, well they are flood at Syon Park on the Thames where my step mum lives but that is quite common and tidal local brook has flooded my apiary on totteridge Vale and Gravel extraction at london colney at my OSR site have been flooded
a friends hives at in potters bar are almost in accessible by road , all livestock is are in sheds and feed is running low at Royal Vet College farm and they dont think they can get stock out until after easter so are lambing in poly tunnels
But this morning Chaos and 4 hr traffi jams when we had the M25, M1 and A1(M) all partial closed with cars abanded in flood water but minor 1ft deep stuff due to bad run off or dips in road
ahhhhhhh i ust want it dry, i hope Tom bick has his boat moored on a canal rather than the Colne or Brent asthey are running fast
