If you take a close look at this picture you will see that the lake has crept into areas it shouldn't be! This is a shot of Lake Windermere flooding again, and this is exactly how it has been today. It has poured relentlessly all day and a lot of the roads are closed locally. I am up at the crack of dawn to take teenager to rugby match at Kirkby Lonsdale. He is at a sleepover today and has been paintballing this afternoon. Such a social life! I need to collect him from his pals in the morning and whizz him across to face Carlisle under fourteens.

It will be muddy- my washing machine is wincing already!
