I am very impressed about the emergency train station. Who'd have thought anything could happen so fast in England anymore, what with Health & Safety committees to organise, etc.

MrsB has had to make a few reassuring phone calls to her grandmother in the last couple of days. She lives up that way, but still around 80 miles from Cockermouth itself, on the other side of Morcombe bay. She is 88, gets confused sometimes, and thought all the rain in Cumbria was going to make the sea level rise and flood her house. At one point she was quite prepared to sleep in her armchair with bags packed by the door ready to be evacuated.
In fairness to her she does live on the coast, and untill the sea defenses were beefed up flooded gardens were a regular feature of the sping tides. That was 20 years ago now.

A guy on the radio this am from a Baily bridge company reckons it will be a week minimum before they can get a bridge up across the Derwent, maybe up to a month.
There is one guy there who wants to cross the street to get to work, faced now with an 80 mile round trip

Has to be said that no matter how dire my current situation is (on the bench most of the year) at least my home is warm and dry. It takes ages before a place is habitable again after something like this. It's Grim up north...
