Our thoughts go out to all those affected
by last week’s floods. This appears to
be an ongoing event that we hope we don’t see again too soon. Unfortunately, I think we will!
Can you ever prepare for this type
of thing? It’s supposed to be a 1 in 100
year event or we’ve even heard it said 2,000 years! I don’t know about you but really! This has now happened at least four times in
the last 2 years. Why? It’s been said that back in the 74 floods, our
area didn’t flood, and yes, that is true.
However, that was over 40 years ago and so much has changed - building
codes, demand on style like low-set bricks, lifestyles, etc. All these changes contribute to the natural water
flow and where all the water goes. All
we can say is ‘be prepared’ for the next flooding as it will come!
We have just gone unconditional on
our new premises at number 10 Second Avenue, Sandgate, and after some renovations,
this quaint cottage will be our new home.
We will be taking up residence from 1July 2015 so watch and see what can
be done to this little cottage.
