We've got no bother apart from a leaky window, but davem's mam has had to resort to sandbags as their village is flooded.
I think Mattius will be perfectly fine where he lives, too, in case anyone's wondering!
Glad to hear at least the news in Germany gave it some airtime! I'm still a bit shocked at the blase attitude of our news stations - just to add insult to injury last night's ITV news featured the tragedy of a flooded field in Gloucestershire. How terrible that some blades of grass may have been harmed, in contrast to the ruin facing businesses here - even the vast Meadowhall shopping centre is under mud and water, we face having no post for a week and worst of all....the Bertie Bassets factory was flooded so no Licquorice Allsorts!
