Auction and Flood.
By accident we learnt of 26 acres of pasture for auction, 5 fields on the
banks of River Stour, 2 miles from where we live. My brother came into partnership
and just before the Auction the whole area flooded. All other potential bidders
were frightened off, and we got Bear Mead for a song.
