What a difference a day makes!

On Saturday it rained and rained and rained all day. We had a months rainfall in 16 hours in Dorset and most of the rivers in the area burst their banks, and there was flooding. We were lucky as we live half way up a hill , so we weren't too badly affected.

Sunday was such a contrast, the sun shone and you couldn't believe how bad the weather had been the day before! This weekend Weymouth had its annual sea festival, but as the weather was so bad it was cancelled on Saturday.

When the sunshine reappeared so did the crowds!

The effects of the flooding could still be seen. The local Gurkha restaurant was badly damaged.

The swans seemed to be making the most of the extra water!

My husband John went out into the garden to dig up some new potatoes and within a spades depth he met a huge pool of water. The first time that this has ever happened in all the years we have been gardening!

Thank you for Lucent from Australia and Carolyn from New Zealand for hearing about the bad weather and thinking of us.
