Manitoba

Today a woman visited our farm . She started to tell me in a  random conversation  that since she moved to the U.K two years ago from Canada  , her garden ornament she had brought over with her had turned green because of all the rain . Cue a conversation about the weather ( very British )  I asked where in Canada she had lived and she said Manitoba . I asked her about the severe weather over there and she said that some times it came so much rain the ground water level rose and flooded basements which she also added people often lived in . Immediately after this conversation I went into our lambing building and found it flooded ! A pipe had come loose while I was talking to her . It was very odd the opening line she used to bring up the subject of where she was originally from ( garden ornaments ? ) This is not the first time this has happened....
