Are you flooded or just very wet ?

Here in the fens we are flooded where drainage is poor or non existent but in the main ok apart from very wet ground. Our pumps are keeping up.

I was flooded a week ago but the water was gone in a day. You have to take care of ditching but most is mandatory anyway. Raining every day now but at the moment with heavy winds means it's drying up in the open fields. I have my slurrypits practically full now and I am not the only one by a longshot. Tomorrow some slurrying will get done I hope, kinda needs must.
