Poor young woman hadn't realised just how you can lose your bearings in a flood .<br />Everybody's being so stoic in Somerset but they must be nearly at the end of their tether by now .It must stop raining soon ?SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-86655833478949303442014-01-31T14:53:33.212+00:002014-01-31T14:53:33.212+00:00Ooh, thank you, that is an Elizabeth Taylor title ...Ooh, thank you, that is an Elizabeth Taylor title that had not appeared on my horizon.

But it's tragic, really, to see homes, livelihoods and farmland ruined, and still so much of winter yet to come. If the water were clean, it might be easier to deal with, but when you see what's left behind when levels drop a little, it takes courage to wade out into it! The Gardener is out in the Quantocks today, helping to clear a stream that is on the point of becoming a river if left untouched for much longer. I'm thankful for our sandbags.... Stay dry, Lucille!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.com
