Washed out in Yorkshire

This morning I set off on a GNER train bound for Doncaster not knowing what was to hit me. We were to have a youth and children's team meeting at my colleague Mike's house in Donny. I got as far as Grantham before we hit our first flood in a tunnel and the train was canceled. Some American tourists kept all our spirits up by reminding us that Margaret Thatcher was from Granthem... And I shared a carriage standing with Phil Tufnell, but alas not even his celebrity status could help!  Finally I met my other team mate Anita in Donny some 4 hours later and we set off to Mike North's house in Adwick. It was simply flooded everywhere and we couldn't get to him. At one point we were sent on a back route by the diversion and the road was in danger of becoming a river (see pic). Just 10 minutes from his house and we had to give up and back I got on to a packed GNER train, which took me back to Grantham and eventually to London. What a day!
