Green.

I don't know if you saw Braunton on the news today as the latest place that got hit with flooding? It was me trying to get into the store as that is where I work. I am too, too tired to recount it all here, I may do on the other blog when I get time. Suffice to say it has been the hardest day ever and I am physically and mentally exhausted with dealing with my own journey and the fact that so many of my work community have been devastated in their houses. The difficulties that my staff have had to come into work and have still come in. I spent the day trying to get in...looking after people, including feeding them (for free of course), looking after the firefighters that set up command in our car park and helping people to get home.

I had a very tiring, stressful journey, myself. A half hour walk in and then out of the village. An hour journey through flooded hills to get 8 miles. I am now exhausted and aching and feel like the Grinch.

Surfing?

It is not funny though is it? Those poor people facing Christmas or anything with that damage. Fortunately it was a lot of shop space rather than personal space but economically and creatively that is heartbreaking. 

Human Spirit? My colleague Dan that waded in (his flat is above one of those shops).

My colleague (another) Dan that spent two hours to get in.

and it goes on and on. Love my job to work with such lovely people and in such a great community.
