Sorry to see all this Mark - this weather is so grim this year . Hope it can all get sorted very speedily for you

Nice to see everyone helping out. I bet you've met some neighbours you didn't know you had?

Hi Mark, if I say fingers crossed, it would sound like support of the lazy. So good luck and hope the weather will become better very soon. At your street there arenĀ“t trenches (ditches)?

Oh Mark I am so sorry to read about your flood. It must be very distressing for you all. The weather has been awful lately.
Good luck with the clean-up, and it's reasuring to know that others are willing to help out.

Good gracious Mark what a shock for you and even worse at that time of night....., I've just been reading the news that they had to shut the junction on the M1 because of flash flooding, hope itsdry today for you athough its raining here at the minute....

Dreadful sight ... I hope you manage to get everything cleaned up today. Down here on the South coast at Littlehampton about 25 basement flats are flooded, the residents are sheltering in a Leisure Centre. The basement of Worthing Hospital has flooded, a 20 mile journey around the roads at Chichester is taking up to 2 hours! ... Awful, awful weather for June ... :o(((

I heard about that Shirley,its been an awful year one way and another, the weather has just behaved crazily...... the river soar has flooded here (again)
I,m so thankful we live on a hill..

Mark its very much not funny I know but with your talent for building I was wondering about an ark?

Hi all thankyou for all your comments of support.We have got off lightly ,we have just found out some in surrounding areas had to have the fire brigade to help them pump there homes out.Ours homes on our street were done by truely amazing community spirit.

Dianebulley i truely agree with you all our hearts are with the people of wales.They have had things far worse than us.We wish them all luck and best wishes with the aftermath they have to endure.

We are starting to see a light at the end of the cleaning tunnel.At least the rain is holding off for now .

11 Jun, 2012

 

At least its dry as you say and I hope this rain we have doesn't go any further north
