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!
