The 24th November 2012 (which by coincidence was my 17th birthday) is the record for Dawlish Water, at 1.32m. Yesterday just missed that with 1.27m.

Hopefully the boffins at the Met Office HQ in Exeter will have anticipated this exceptional weather event! How are things at Cowley Bridge these days- anyone know?

Pretty good. No problems at all recently actually but I shall continue to monitor things.
