17th Nov. 2016.

Stormy, autumnal weather. Cold west wind and two hours of heavy rainfall across midday, both result of low centred north of Scotland with anti-clockwise winds bringing wind, rain and snow on hills.

Recently much work done on the sluice of East Drain, Sluice Rd, South Ferriby. Not yet sure exactly what has been done but the mud around the previously stuck sluice gates has been removed. Various redundant machinery related to when the sluice use to be in working order remains. New workings have a wind turbine and solar panel. I believe this is preliminary work in the flood prevention improvement programme.

Did month’s shop at Sainsbury’s, Scunthorpe am and walked dog in Central Park – before the rain.
