At Belmont roundabout in Hereford it was notorious for flooding, every winter the city was cut in two. Asda came along and promised to build a flood alleviation scheme if they could have planning permission to build a store on land that used to flood. They also agreed to pay for traffic alterations at the roundabout which they would need access to for the store. The roundabout was a notorious bottleneck and I couldn't possibly see how they could cure it but cure it they did. They have also cured the flooding from the River Wye although in heavy downpours their carpark gets a lot of surface water. Over the last two days with the continual rain it has still stayed free of water but three roads within Hereford are flooded and closed, something I've never known in my lifetime. Yesterday we went to Morrisons but they had no bread, fruit or veg or newspapers. Hereford was virtually cut off because all the main roads had places that were closed. Even today they have closed another two roads in Hereford.
Yesterday I couldn't believe my eyes, I looked out of the window and a man with a long white beard sailed by in a boat full of animals. There sure are a lot of weirdo's about.
