Time to go!

The day's arrived, we're all packed and we are about to leave!

It's a much better day, thankfully.

More importantly, thanks to an incredible amount of work right through the night by people from the fire service and other services Gloucestershire's main power station has escaped the floods. The river rose to within two inches of the walls erected to give further protection. That means that most of the county still has electricity.

Most of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the surrounding area are without water, though it's still running here in the centre of Cheltenham.

If we manage it, our next news will be from the Jamboree itself!

Every blessing,

Felicity and Richard
