Fancy seeing ewe up here ..
SHEEP flock to higher ground to escape a flood as rain battered the South.
About 30 sheep were isolated on one of the only parts of raised ground that appeared to have escaped the flooding at Stratton, near Dorchester in Dorset, after the River Frome burst its banks.
Floods also affected other areas across southern England – and the bad weather shows no sign of stopping. The Met Office has issued 56 flood alerts.
Buses and trains will be affected, with journeys taking longer, while flooding of homes and businesses is possible, with some blustery showers further north.
The outlook is slightly more positive from tomorrow, with drier conditions and less brutal winds expected, but fog and mist will cause problems for drivers.
