The Start of 2023 with Gordon
The end of the first month of the New Year and what has it brought? For me, it has been very eventful already. Having had the lovely Christmas with friends and family that I hoped for, things definitely changed and then some.
On the 30th December I woke up to a very alarming flood of foul water running throughout my lovely old house; it was flooded from the streams which run in the forest behind my home. For many hours the fire service worked to pump out thousands of litres of water from my home and garden; it really was something else and I truly can’t thank these people enough for what they did for us. This is how we ended 2022 and our arrival into the new year was very damp to say the least.
I look back at this episode and feel contented that my son, friends and myself coped very well with everything that came out of the flood. No one was hurt or injured and the stuff we have lost are just ‘things,’ which can all be gotten again. This also means I will have to move from where I live, to a temporary house for several months until renovations can be completed. I really never thought water could do so much damage!
