Floods in London

Oh what rain – we read about floods in the rest of Britain and we forget about London. What an amazing amount of rain in a really short period of time. Water poured into our basement at home and scared off all the spiders for a bit.
I went round to help my 92 year old mother who was in a much worse state. I lifted off her drain cover to help the water run away.
There were many others even in Kensington who have suffered and the Council are now making a map of the problems, so we can all be better prepared – next time.
I have read that the Olympic Village is in an area prone to flooding, so lets hope we get that right in time.
