woa2 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've been reading about the recent floods and wondering if anyone had been out making the most of them in their MV? Anyone tried deep wading in a Champ or a Stalwart? Pictures, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Naturally! This is England after all. :-D At 05:00 this morning the Ducks were wearing life jackets ... City slicker driving his flash Merc in the Norfolk lanes, comes upon a ford and an old boy sitting on the fence nearby. Winds his window down and shouts rudely "I say, YOU - is that river shallow enough for me to get across?" To which the old boy replies lazily "Well I should ha' thought so, Sir". So slicker drives full pelt into the river and the water flows in through his open window. "You idiot", he shouted - "I thought you said it was shallow enough?" The old boy scratched his brow and replied "Well tha's a rumm'n - the water only come half way up the Master's ducks"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I took our youngest down to our allotment yesterday for a post winter check. The fields at the bottom of the allotments are flooded higher then Ive seen them in 40 odd years. With the sun out and the floodwater at the bottom of the field it was like being at the seaside. Barmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 We could do with a bit of that warmth and sunshine up here, it's just raining almost constantly night and day and quite cold and windy most of the time. A lot of lambs are being lost in the area, they just can't stand the constant wet and get chilled. Just to top things off we are having trouble with dogs, 2 pairs are roaming about chasing and killing sheep and several of us are carrying guns all the time.

Tony B Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No breacks at all this season Degsey. And of course it will mean the land is unworkable, , so the hay and silage will be affected, who'd be a Farmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
