Hey, hello everyone (all 2 of you! Weather's picking up in the SW of France, how are our poor waterlogged Brits? Know anyone in those areas?)

Yep. My son lives about 2km outside Tewkesbury and was away when the floods came. Luckily he is on higher ground and dry, but water went off. He has been able to work and has water back now. Very lucky.
