The water butt by the side of the stables has now filled to 80% and will overflow later today. Yesterday's 24hr rainfall of 13.5mm has over the evening and night now has risen to 25.5mm by 9am.

| Drainage channel |
An inch of rain in 24hrs and the
drainage channel dug yesterday evening to take water away from the shed
has only partly worked and now needs extending and a deeper hole
digging.
The
plan is now to not only dig a hole but also make the channel deep
enough to take a pipe so it can be covered over at some point.
A day of digging in the rain seems called for but also more thought on the water butt storage idea.
Update 2016
Forgot to update to say that I continued the trench another couple of feet and found a land drain pipe. It all drained off immediately and had not flooded since,
