Remember that luvverly summer of 2007?

The weather forcasters suggested that we may get a long hot summer this year, think we had that a couple of weeks ago.
Back in South Yorkshire we seem to have turned the clock back to 2007.
Remember all those coloured welly pictures and jokes about claims for flood damage, well it looks like you may need them again.
We had it pretty bad this afternoon, with central Sheffield badly hit, more than 2 feet of water on Park Square roundabout and all bus a tram services supended. Fortunately no rivers have gone over the top yet, it was all down to a very bad storm.
On my way home from Rotherham I had to drive through more than a foot of water on 4 or 5 occasions. Numerous main roads, like the A57 near me totally blocked and lots of people baling their houses out.
I love summer, isn't it nice to get the bucket and spade out, well the bucket anyway. I was lucky, just had to spend an hour baling out the garage.
The Falco never did like sitting in flood water
Had originally planned to go to either Willingham or South Leverton tonight as well.
