a bit of rain

We've had a bit of rain in the last 24 hours or so - 26mm ( an inch) according to a local weather website.
A lot of water  has come off the hill and the stream has been in full flood.

 And the little bridges  couldnt cope so  various bits have been awash with rain .

The excess water escaped through the duck run

 And it all joined up again in the burn a bit lower down .

And the road has been flooded .

one unlucky driver got a bit stuck

But its not really a problem.  There are a lot of people around with a tractor to pull you out .

So thanks go to Davey.

It rained a bit last night

50mm ( 2 inches or so )  to be more exact.
And other parts of Orkney have a bit of flooding . The Radio Orkney  facebook page  has some pictures .
Our bit  had quite a lot of rain - the burn is fuller ( and louder ) than last time

and the pond has overflowed again - but unsurprisingly the ducks are nowhere near.

But a few other places have excess water around .

steps to the garden

Drive

And on the main road down the hill the ditch at the side can't cope , so the road is flooding in places.

and the hens are really unhappy in the quagmire
