Sorry to hear about your misfortune but it has cheered me up a little. I have been missing the UK a little bit recently but I am reminded of a story about my parents when they were here in New Zealand five years ago or so.
They took a scenic railway journey across the South Island and a tree fell onto the train en route.
The driver got out, walked up the line to where there were some forestry workers, borrowed a chainsaw, returned and cut the tree up. Gave the chainsaw back and they were on their way again. Such a difference in attitude.
