irishkate has sent me a link to a picture of our favourite playground
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=96587&stc=1&d=1258726706The play equipment is not so easy to make out but those colourful bits you see at chest height. I am very much afraid that this means the cafe flooded out too. I had hoped they had enough height to be safe. :( They were running on the margins for profit already. Poor sods!
Good news though it seems that the water came almost but not quite into DD's school and a team of teachers was in there to assess it this morning and hopefully have had the wit to move things to the upper floor as more rain is on the way. Looking at pictures like this
