Morning all!!
Well, you will be surprised to hear that it is grey and dull again here in N. Leicestershire but I really shouldn't complain. I really feel for those people still suffering floods.
Not the same at all, but my brother has a cottage in Cornwall which got flooded both before Christmas and after. A friend who lives in the village baled it out for him last week and put the wood-burner on to dry it out. A daft idea as it turns out but done with the best of intentions. The kitchen caught fire and a 300 year old lintel, the main support at the back, was largely burnt away.
