Ooh – it’s so cold – and wet – and windy. It’s true it has been worse but I really don’t like gales. I have always been frightened by thunder and lightning and also what we called “the big wind” since I was a child hiding under the blankets. The truth of it is I am not flooded and it is far worse across the country. It must be a nightmare to be flooded.
