…The images I saw yesterday were pretty terrifying and a complete nightmare situation …I mean, people having to leave their homes is just not something that is prepared for in the UK with the more mild weather conditions we’ve known…thankfully, human life is not being lost and the rescue services seem to be doing such a great job…but obviously there is going to be and require a lot of ‘rebuilding’ from this…I’m thinking of you both……
