I was going to write a long blog about my walk into town this morning, but I only just remembered, and now I have to go walk the dog!

So briefly, I walked into Gloucester today, wading through the water which is currently cutting us off from that side of the world. It was really eerie. The roads are usually really busy and obviously there was no traffic except for the emergency vehicles, and very few people anywhere. All you could hear were the helicopters. It was a really strange feeling. There are more photos on my flickr.

It took me half an hour to walk into Gloucester. I met a friend there who drove me back. It took an hour to get home because we had to go a seriously long way round (M50!) because the roads are closed.

She went back to Cheltenham with about 35 litres of water (we have spring water rather than mains) to be distributed.

It's all very bizarre.
