How's it going in Ireland ?
Delightfully calm at the moment, but another storm expected soon
Parts of the county I live in have been the worst hit, and there are numerous road and bridge closures. The town of Bandon has been badly flooded for the third time this month, and a friend who lives not far from there says her house was saved by the fire brigade constantly pumping water. They must have done a good job, as they managed to save all but one house in that road from flooding.
Just been back to check on my old house (it was still raining lightly there, but sunny at my new place
), which is in a very exposed position, and delighted to say it is in one piece. I think the architect who built it did a good job of making it resilient!
