Well it seems we can't get through a winter without somewhere in the UK getting flooded and this year is the same. My thoughts go out to residents of Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire who were affected by this.
Normally it's just something I hear about on the radio news or see on the TV but this year I only needed to take a walk for a few minutes to see it first hand. Christmas wasn't much fun this year for some of my neighbours with the Environment Agency issuing a flood warning at around 11pm on the 25th for the stretch of River Aire which runs close to my house (thankfully not too close though).
The flood warning here was lifted at around lunch time but I hear York (about 40 miles East) has been hit now. Hoping all the NPVR users up this way are warm and dry.
Cheers,
Brian
