Unless I can buy a boat we are fucked. (PICS)

Every year the snow melts the ri8ver floods, this year it has melted faster and rained more than normal. We have a flood alert in our village.

The house usually over looks a farmers field and a nice sedat river. Today it overlooks a raging torrent and the warning is the water will rise.



Our house is the yellow one at the back. The barrier is something set into the dyke and erected for times like this.



This is the field where the farmer should be planting his spring greens this week, more likely he should plant rice.



Not far to go and it's into the street then into the fields behind the house.



This is where he keeps his tools.



See the difference in 24 hours and it's rising.



So I might be rowing to work next week.

The serious problem is the concrete barriers they have, the latest news is they may break.
