I was looking over Somerset strata maps the other day, as had wondered how the area came to be. On a much reduced scale, the area is rather like Bangladesh. In basic terms, it's a silted flood-plain. So every time it rains hard, they get it in the neck, as the rivers backup and break their banks.

It's a lovely spot and must be nice to live there when dry. But come the rains or a big melt and you can only feel for the people, as they live through the inevitable. Even if greater river defences were created. With enough rainfall, the water table simply rises through the ground.

I do hope they get through it quickly. One can only hope for a cessation of the rain.

Newgale pebble beach defence has been demolished by the sea, it's been thrown over the entire road (now completely closed).

Here at Haverfordwest the howling strong wind & driving rain has been coming in waves, odd because it's been nice & calm & sunny in between.... quite a surreal weather pattern from anything I've experienced before in the UK.

The weather is not only weird, it's also quite worrying for where we may be heading in the future.

But climate change isn't happening, right???
