I’ve been out training over the past week and can finally announce that I will be running my first ever marathon!!! 🙄😳

To say I’m terrified is a complete understatement but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

I’ve put my fitness and health down to eating good quality beef regularly and I’ve never felt better so let’s bring it on!!

I will be doing this purely for myself so no donations required but feel free to support me by either buying beef from our shop or if anyone fancies running with me that would also be fantastic!!

I’m sure everyone has their own opinions on this.

I’ve seen the river at the bottom of the hill coming out of Laurencekirk flood the road nearly every time it rained.

It was dredged a couple of years ago at the bridge and guess what, I’ve only seen it flood once and that was just in January after all the snow melted and it rained again. Maybe it’s needing done again??

A simple way of explaining this- when a house is new, there are new gutters installed. Over time, mud, moss, rubbish, etc builds up and eventually water will start coming over the top of the gutter. If it’s cleaned then the water will disappear and no problem.

But if you were leave the mud and then add some sort of height extension to the gutter then the chances are water might get up underneath your slates or tiles and start causing leaks in your roof.

Drains lead to rivers and if the water rises over the ends of the pipes then the water from surrounding areas cannot get into the river and then it just floods everywhere.

I don’t think this is rocket science but just simple common sense.Following on from our film explaining the Brechin flood protection scheme and railings at the Inch wall, here we explain why dredging won't help prevent flooding in Brechin. You can watch it here: orlo.uk/ICJ62
