we where married at st oswalds and visit at least three times a year , grasmere has become our second family home now so this was upsetting but glad it was not as bad as they thought ... and i thought it might have been ! god bless you all .
Thanks for posting this video, i`d been living in Grasmere for 6 months in 2008, working in the wordsworth hotel, and i have great memories of that place!!! Regards from Argentina!!!
Thanks for posting the video! Grasmere is a lovely place - we were there visiting family earlier this year. You are getting more rain now I think - please do some more videos and let us see what is happening up there! Thanks!
Amazin video, we love Grasmere & visit at least twice a year. Good luck & we will be thinking about you all. We will be back just after Christmas, take care
I have recently had a stone set in the Wordsworth Memorial garden next to the church. Does anyone know how the garden has survived? It looks very much flooded in the video
Please note, THE HOTEL WAS'NT FLOODED - in fact it escaped unscathed - the building's foundations come up out of the river, and whilst we haven't seen the river as high before, we remained safe and so did a house full of guests! I only posted the video so that people who know the area could see what happens during such a weather event!
The river rose several inches behond this but has (in the last two hours) dropped back slightly. We are dreading the night to come! This is the highest I have seen the river and I have been here for nearly 14 years
Broadgate, Grasmere, Cumbria ~ This is the location, maybe not to far from you ?
At the moment it shows that rain is falling at 10mm - 18mm, but it does sometimes get really intense. Radar identifies that there is about 120mm rain fallen over the high ground in 24 hours, ~ Ill keep eye on radar to see if anything further develops. ~ As im in SE Wales, its not easy to get media coverage.
Because we are in a steep sided valley, the rainfall that really matters is on the tops of the fells. We regularly get 120 inches of rain a year here - less than some places like Seathwaite in Borrowdale, just a few miles away.

I will check tomorrow and post a reply, but I'm confident that the workmanship will be OK. I know the guy who did the job!

Hi, All the stones are OK and very very clean!
You were right to ask though, because we lost our own riverside patio and flower bed in the deluge.

Hi,
Thanks, Broadgate is a two minute walk.
Because we are in a steep sided valley, the rainfall that really matters is on the tops of the fells. We regularly get 120 inches of rain a year here - less than some places like Seathwaite in Borrowdale, just a few miles away.
