It was epic. Fortunately, by fluke, I woke up in time (around midnight), sleeping (oh the irony) in the one room that was NOT affected, to do some damage limitation in the others, stem the tide.<br /><br />Forget the material damage - all that can be replaced. But the emotional - books, letters destroyed with ink running never to be deciphered again . . . And no insurance in the whole wide world can replace those. <br /><br />Haddocks and the lawn will grow again. And spare a thought for Noah and his Ark. Which reminds me: When will you be making the journey across the Channel?
