Horrible day yesterday - because of flood warning for the Valley bringing back memories of the historic floods of Boxing Day 2015 and also our neighbouring landslide. Hadn't realised how traumatised I'd found it all until I thought we were going to have to relive It! More interesting though not in a good way was how much the stress affected my body. Everything aching, including bits like knees and thighs, which hadn't troubled me before. I know there was much more hopping about and rushing up and downstairs to peer out of the window etc than usual. Not helped by some of the family travelling late at night and wondering if they'd get through.
All well in the end and the river didn't quite burst its banks. But a lesson in how much recovery can be undermined by worry. And a reminder that I want to move to a nice warm modern accessible house far far away from water. No Riverside View for me!!
