post storms Ali and Bronagh

Yesterday was very wet and windy: storm Ali hit the UK.  We spent some time driving around the Brecon Beacons, and some in Hay-on-Wye's famous bookshops.  (We bought only eight books.  The days of filling the back of the car with second-hand purchases are over, due to already having a lot of books, having already got them via Amazon.)

This morning, we saw some of the effect of the storm: the river Wye was somewhat higher than when we arrived, having flooded "the lower field".



The B&B proprietor said the river sometimes flooded that field, in winter, or in spring, but they had never seen it flood in September.
