Some images of the flooding here in Jan 2011
We were so lucky, we have a river that does flood regularly, but it was a nice slow and gentle flood, living in our house during the peak was like being on a houseboat, the sparkling water reflecting into our safe and cosy house. It was so quiet with all the roads blocked apart from all the helicopters in the day time. The bats were not bothered at all.
We were gripped to the media though, watching and listening with shock and horror at what was happening elsewhere in our poor flooded country.

very waterfront for 5 days, this is around the peak and the water just went for miles and miles in every direction.

Those are incredible pictures Louise.. shame that it happened in the first place but it certainly isn't something you'll forget for a while.
That last picture is award-worthy! Thanks for sharing them.
