Dancing Gingerbread Men and Floods.

I found these tree-decorations in a garden centre near my house yesterday, and thought the dancing gingerbread man was particularly cute. The reindeer was also particularly cute.

Then the rain came. It was raining lots. It was loud, it was a little scary and hail joined in. We didn't really think much of it until later on.

We kept shopping...

... and found these bad boys.

What are they?

Turnips.

Probably. They're not. They're bulbs of some description, and I'm pretty sure they could probably be sold as some sort of house-security. The plants that grow out of these things must be able to eat AT LEAST children whole.

Only after we went back inside the main part of the shop did we see what the rain had done. It was flooding the shop from inside out. Being an outside-covered shop, the drains on the inside were overflowing and the automatic door was letting rain in too. Oh dear.

Good response from the staff though.
