Five ponies have been rehomed after they were seen standing in waterlogged fields north of Derby during widespread flooding earlier this month.

A group of animal lovers said they rescued the horses after they became "stranded" in flood water, close to the River Derwent near the A38 Little Eaton island on 8 November.

Ruth Darby, who along with Sue Williams bought the horses, said: "We are probably mad but we have become attached to them and want to give them all a better life."

This autumn has been a tough one for the UK with many parts seeing record levels of rain and below average temperatures.

So far this month, based on Met Office data up to 17 November, Nottinghamshire has seen the most rain compared with the average.

The county has already had 189% of its monthly average.

It led to severe flooding in places like Worksop (above), where dozens of homes had to be evacuated and two homeless men almost drowned when they became trapped in a wheelie bin.

During the worst of the rainfall, there was also a mudslide at Berry Hill Quarry in Mansfield.
