On 15 October we had a flash flood in Kelsale following a short period of torrential rain. The road on the other side of the bridge from our house was completely flooded and Chris Berry's car got 6 inches of water in it! Fortunately our side of the river was not affected as the water was deflected over to the other bank. The brick walls on the other side of the bridge (Harvest house etc) got completely washed away (you can see the rear of my outbuildings on the right hand side of the 3rd picture).
On 14 September I took Charlotte to the University of Kent (at Canterbury) to start her 3-year History degree. Here she is in her room at Darwin College. This is my old College from when I did my PhD at the University of Kent 25 years ago (almost)!
We celebrated Josie's birthday (8 August), Gail's birthday (2 July) and my birthday (14 July) on 3/4 August this year. We went to the Saxon Fayre in Saxmundham, Sutton Hoo and Walberswick, and had a barbecue in the garden. Here are some pictures:
