Makes you wonder if anything can be done about the future risk of this degree of flooding, what it might cost and if it's even possible. After some very hasty carting about of sandbags here a year or so back, I wouldn't want to repeat the experience. Needless to say, I wish all concerned the strength of character to rebuild what has been damaged.... easier said than done, I'd need an army of well-wishers to remind me constantly not to give up.

Like all things in life we only ever truly appreciate the effects when they hit us or someone we know. I was brought up in a region in Germany where the town regularly floods badly and people keep having to face this on a regular basis. When 2 years ago a part in Germany got flooded that had never known any before, there was a national outcry and how people could cope. When subsequently speaking with folk in my hometown they all said: "We have this nearly every year, nobody bothers and we are left to get on with it". They have nowhere to escape to and there houses would now not be bought. However, local people all help each other and find some strength in that. We really are fortunate when we do not have to deal with this. My heart goes out to you all together with our very best wishes. Anne Miles,

It shows a certain side of human nature as well I think. We see the news and understand what is happening but only when it happens to somebody we know does the full impact of events make its mark. I'm going to check out the news up until reading this I had little idea of the seriousness of what was going on Best Wishes Rod Miles,
