Last week Storm Ciara caused a flash flood at the Rectory so that the outer hall, downstairs loo and garage were two inches deep in water again. Thank goodness for my quick-thinking husband who managed to stop it coming right through the house! Of course, that is nothing compared to the problems that many people, especially in South Wales, Shropshire, Yorkshire and the Scottish Borders, have had to cope with.
