On a roll


Yay Im scrapping up a storm, this is my 3rd LO in 2 days and is for Challenge Me Happy..I really like sketch challenges and seem to get more out of them than just picking up a photo and trying to decide how and what I will do with it.. I was going to go to Blenheim to pick up Little man and take Julie DD out for lunch as it is her birthday today...That plan went out the window as we had a lot of rain overnight which caused Havoc for anyone trying to get in and out of our wee comnmunity. I did set off but ended up turning around as there were a few slips on the road as well as lots of water pouring down the water tables. One part of the road was starting to cave away and that was when I freaked out and decided it wasnt worth even trying, so turned around and came home. Just as well as I found out later the road was closed at the turnoff to the main highway due to the river flooding. The rain did ease this afternoon, but seems to have set in again. Some pics above of the flooding as i saw it, the water levels were much higher earlier on . The one of the building is our community hall which had water seep in one side and in the back of it as well. No chance of drying out at this stage...
