While you were battling rain storms we were on the alert with a massive bush fire in the area I was visiting over Christmas. 116 homes destroyed but no loss of lives thankfully. My sister's home, where our family gathered for Christmas day, was just an hour away from the front and we were slightly nervous. Mother Nature!! So glad you were OK. <br /> Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-9416682476408152992015-12-29T00:16:04.126+00:002015-12-29T00:16:04.126+00:00That is a big worry for you to watch the water wil...That is a big worry for you to watch the water wild and rising and I am happy to hear the rain has let up and you and your homestead are ok.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-51019616647496486152015-12-28T22:34:24.180+00:002015-12-28T22:34:24.180+00:00Glad to hear that you are all safe, I hope that yo...Glad to hear that you are all safe, I hope that you stay safe and that there is no more scary weather like that. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-49630550087753865352015-12-28T22:25:47.523+00:002015-12-28T22:25:47.523+00:00I have been watching the news here with horror see...I have been watching the news here with horror seeing how the UK is at the mercy of the rain.

The river goes up incredibly quickly and the power of it is frightening to behold. There's a lot to recommend hillside living . . . I feel so sorry for the poor souls across the country who are being flooded (and in Cumbria, flooded again).Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-34368242492499008482015-12-28T20:44:41.906+00:002015-12-28T20:44:41.906+00:00I really feel for all the people who have to live ...I really feel for all the people who have to live through all these floods.
