I managed to save my cars but the workshop was under a foot of water when I gave up. I spent 3 hours in the flood water rescueing cars and equiptment- bottom shed was waist deep by the time I had finished.
Worst bit was the house we have just scraped everything together to buy has really copped for it- it was level to the worktops in the Kitchen this morning- the tide marks on the wall are above my head. It's going to be at least six months until it's fixed.
Plenty of positives though. As Si mentioned, everyone in good spirits and mucking in. A coffee seller and burger van turned up at lunch time and have beenhanding out freebies all day. Neighbours that have not spoken in years are helping out each other and the pub were great last night- best night out in ages!
slightly nervous about going to workshop in morning- couldn't face it today. Hoping the bikes are safe.
