Thread Name: What's the weather like where you are?
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?
Well, last Friday, when the road to our village was closed off due to works by Openreach and Anglian Water, we all had to take a long detour through Fustyweed and Elsing, which involved negotiating huge puddles and floods. It was a nightmare, because large, wide vehicles were taking this 'rat run' too and the little country lanes are winding. One edged round a bend only to meet head-on a cattle-feed truck or an oil tanker. We finally arrived at our bungalow in what Norfolk people call 'a roit stairt'! But yesterday (Sunday) the sun shone, there was only a tiny breeze and NO RAIN!!! Hooray!!! And all the roads had dried off, plus no more Fustyweed - our village road was open again. Phew!
