My dears, one must send our thoughts and prayers to the people in Cumbria and the Scottish Borders following the most awful of deluges that has seen more rain in one day than has been recorded before. Oh the sorry sight of water rising to waist height and making its way through streets, houses, indeed anything in its way. Why Carlisle has been devastated, as have Keswick and the borders. Why even the best of defences could not hold back such a surge of water, some 14 inches in a day. Roads, power, and the basics for life all paralysed by water. Here in my home county we have great empathy for you, having suffered a similar problem. We are thinking of you.Take heart my dear friends, take heart.
