Hi...a final thank you to all of you. ECD...haven`t seen if your area is safe or not but praying it is...likewise Neil. And now I am not sure if we are about to be hit a third time but sand bags have already been deposited in our village.
Fingers crossed it will just be a precaution and not a necessity.
And now I am going to request that this thread be closed. You have all been so warm and caring.


ps...just wanted to add that the pic shown on this thread is actually a " paddle" compared to the flood at its worst.At its peak it came to the top of the white posts you see in the photo...the danger being that anyone not realising the beck was there,would have been swept away.We are so so lucky.
