Yesterday...Tuscany coast
Doesn't look like the inviting blue sea that i know and love
Its a beautiful bright, blue sky but chilly day and his morning i ventured out to Gourdon, about 25km.
First i passed a friends house on the edge of the village close to the river. It was sitting in a lake. Luckily, 250 years ago the builders had floods in mind when they raised the foundations up to 1/2 a metre above ground level. Water up to the second step but the house is dry
Next came a large tree across the road. "Damn, mega diversion to get round this" as i was slowing to turn round i noticed, some enterprising local had cut a couple of metres out of the trunk, enough to allow a car to pass.
Through the gap, through a village, round a bend to another friends house which was not so lucky, i would guess the home sits about 1/3 metre deep in water. The house is a holiday home with no one home. I phoned with the bad news but they already knew.
Most of the way to Gourdon it seemed as though the road was built over a gigantic lake, with the odd bush, farm building and waterlogged forest.
But the floodwater is receding until next time
