Extent of British flooding?

Hello, I am travelling to Britain in the beginning of September,
planning to visit Yorkshire and Cumbria. Has the flooding been a
problem there? My own internet research doesn't come up with a map of
affected areas. RSVP,

There was flooding in some parts of Yorkshire. Everything is pretty much
back to normal, at least from the point of view of a visitor.

Thanks, that's good news.

Let's hope the rains won't affect the blackberry harvest this September. :-)

That's a good question. On some of our walks recently, it seems the
blackberries are a lot less further on than they were in recent years.

Oscar had a try over the weekend, and wasn't impressed. They were
already pretty good at the same time last year...

That's odd we have been eating them already.

In the wild? I assumed that's what he was talking about. You can easily
get the greenhouse grown ones in the supermarket of course.

Wild as in growing along a fence in the allotment. Fruit is supposed to
be a month ahead of normal. The neighbour's apples look ripe and conkers
keep falling on our heads.

Ah, where you are. Not the case here...

I blame the kerosene from schiphol :-)

Or the extra manure dropping out of the planes!

KLM are getting rid of all their Fokkers, I'll miss them.

I'll miss the crews' announcements of them.

There was bad flooding in parts of south and east Yorkshire, around
Doncaster and Hull, not Cumbria. A lot of people have a lot of work to
do, but the area's hardly closed to visitors!

Yes, I picked a handful (in Surrey) from a bramble over a week ago. Big
ones too. Went into a apple pie.
