Flooding

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the house where my family had stayed in a charming little Cotswold market village. I woke this morning to hear that this lovely town has been completely flooded and the water is approaching the 900-year old Abbey that is the centerpiece of the town.

We are all so sad to hear the news of all of the flooding, but hope that the UK government does a better job with this than the US government did with Katrina.

  3. I would not hold my breath or place any faith in this government. As always it will be the people who will be amazingly resourceful.

  4. Very horrible! And of course, they're just forecasting more of this sort of thing from now on. I hope they do okay. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the swift reaction of the Brown government.
