The Cesse in March 2011.wmv

We have taken this film over a couple of days, yesterday when I went to choir practice the river was calming down but today after more than 24 hours of rain it is up again and more rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
The village has been put on alert and there has already been water seeping into houses in low lying areas. Cars owners have been advised not to park their cars on the promenade. This is not the worst inundation that Bize has seen as it reached record levels in 1999 but it is definately the worst we have seen.

I was going to post about our latest lunch experiences but this flood is far more important. Our poor chickens are paddling about like ducks, at least their next boxes are dry.

More news tomorrow if I can get to the computer. At least we are not suffering like the people of Japan. C'est la vie
