What can I say. Yes I have been remiss in updating the blog. Floods, work and life just got in the way. I’ll try to do better.

As to the flood and building on flood plains I heartily agree with you, no need for whoops.

Our house is at least 500 years old and built halfway up a hill so the river running past the front door came as something of a surprise to say the least but, those who were very badly hit have just bought new homes built on a flood plain right next to the river. There were lots of local mutterings at the time about fools and money but 2000 people seem to have ignored common sense and moved in. They’ve now moved out again and are waiting for their insurance companies and builders.
