Gloria, the storm that is currently passing over Catalonia, has left its mark at the Croft. We've had more rain in one night than we've had since records began (my records, anyway), with 128 litres per square metre (128mm) which is the maximum that my rain meter can read. My neighbour up the track emptied his 45mm rain meter three times during the night, so likely ours ran over. The last rainfall to get near this figure was on 12th September 2006 when we had 122mm.
The donkeys don't like it:

...and for the humans, there is currently no way in, or out, except on foot. The track has been washed away, and is currently on the way to the Mediterranean:

| Sink or swim |
But the house is fine, we've got supplies and plenty of wood to keep us cosy, so nae worries, hen.
Update
The storm has gone, leaving us to clear up the remains. The good news is that we now have a beach by the stream, so will be offering sun 'n' sand holidays to anyone who wants them:
