Sandbags, anyone?

The water has receded considerably since I took this pic near Whittlesford on Saturday mroning but more rain is forecast. 
Although the ford at Hinxton and the cycleways from Whittlesford to Sawston were blocked there hasnt been too much flooding. I am going to get some sandbags delivered to Bustlers Rise at Duxford and see if the silt in the drains there can be jetted out. South Cambs supplies sandbags and I have emailed round villages letting people know this is available. The County do the jetting where the drains are blocked by mud and silt.
As several people said to me today - farmers, people at the village shop, dog walkers out and about - at least we are not in Somerset.
