Regarding the plot it could be bad news. Its very close to the River Ock which has been the worst offender with flooding. Before all the worst of the effects as seen below I visited the site and it was flooded. My best guess is the site is under 4'+ so if it doesn't drain soon everything will be gone. Its a shame but only veg after all. Fortunately our house is high and dry so the cucumbers and tomatoes are going strong!
Here are pictures taken on Sunday 22nd. The water appeared from 5am onwards and peaked at 2pm (ish). The Thames is likely to get worse over the next few hours.
View of Tesco. Probably very flooded. Plot 62 is behind here :(
View of Mill road. We can't get out of the estate by car!
Reverse view from Drayton road.
Houses and cars on the estate. I feel very sorry for these people.
Drayton road towards double roundabout and town centre. This is how we get to A34. Police have closed this road.
River Thames where River Ock joins from left. Thames is very nearly breaking the bank.
