Torrential rain and a flood...nearly

We've had some torrential rain today.  So much so that our church has had to cancel it's youth club tonight due to flooding.

Up at our house L and I worked hard to prevent the water from coming up too high (B and G weren't at home).

We were soaked but successful.

However, I managed to break my phone! I got soaked and my phone was in my back pocket! It didn't work for ages, it was all wet inside. Then managed to get it to work, but it keeps going into 'car mode'! So I've switched it off for a bit.  Hubby is not impressed haha, I have a habit of breaking mobile phones.

Getting far to near our back door!!

Sweeping water out of the gate!
