flood news

Back in Car­lisle. Worst floods in nearly 200 years.
My mum’s base­ment got hit but we basi­cally got off lighty. Others weren’t so lucky.
The river seems to have rece­ded. I was wal­king down War­wick Road this eve­ning. Weird to see all the hou­ses aban­do­ned.
The sad­dest thing in the street was some poor chap’s browns­tone… with a Realtor’s “Sold” sign still on it… he pro­bably only bought it a week or two ago at THE HEIGHT of the UK pro­perty mar­ket, and now… like I said, poor chap.
