Ilkeston, for those who don't know, is a town of 30,000 odd people in south Derbyshire close to the border with Nottinghamshire.
The last week or so the U.K. has had the tail end of Storm Babet to contend with. On a world wide scale. not much, On a U.K. wide scale, we got away with it. But for Ilkeston... This was a thing.
So, for posterity, and anyone who is interested... this was our Babet.
