Thank you all very very much for your postings and messages, much appreciated.
How kind of you all.
Our garden was under water because the drains just couldn't cope with the deluge, we lost some possessions in our garage, but it didn't get in the house, though it was up to the threshold of our patio door.

We got off lightly.
Hope Robert is OK, and anyone else hit!
Thanks again to you all.

PS haven't been able to log on much lately because of work, very busy and putting in long hours. Looking forward to October when you can all give me some more TLC, I could get used to this!
