Floods!

 I needed to go into Hereford this morning, and I only just got back!

There were puddles all along the Golden Valley on the way in, and then it kept on raining, so by the time I caught the bus back it was only just able to get through, and there was some doubt as to whether the later buses would be running.

One stretch, just before the Bage, was actually one continuous puddle for about half a mile, and at that point an alarm started to sound on the bus, which went on continuously until we got to Hardwick!  The bus driver had to turn the engine off and on again, and that was the first properly dry bit of road she could do it on.

Checking Facebook, I see that the Letton road is also closed because of flooding, so it's not just the bus route that's affected.
