KEF - the green house is fine, though I am now a little more keen to move the rest of the top soil mountain as I am a little worried it might collapse with any more rain and go tumbling through. Fortunately the garden seems to have survived just fine - I was very worried about the apple tree (since the ground has been disturbed nearby with the pond going in and I've dug all the top soil around one side to replenish it with new and feed it) but a fallen tree would be nothing compared to what others are going through. I am however very grateful to have hedges through most of the back garden - we drove past the house where we used to live not long ago to find the fences had finally succumbed to the weather and had disappeared down the road.
Plenty of rubbish from the neighbours has made it into the front garden (they don't seem to like sealing their rubbish with a lid so it often makes for an escape) so looks like that'll be this evenings job to tidy up.
Please keep safe everyone - this is no weather to be making undue risks for!
Morning all, glad to here that all forkers appear to be safe with not too much damage.
Glad to say the water has receeded a fair bit here, lets hope it will go down before the next storm.
Artjak, as you say humbling. Terrible as all this is, perhaps it is good to be reminded that nature is more powerful than us, and if we want a safe planet, we should learn how to look after it, and work with it.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Hear! Hear!
And with that, I shall go to the dentist - what's true for the planet is also true for my teeth
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all, glad everyone is ok and not too much damage. Apart from losing an aerial, which I think is a radio one rather than TV (I don't understand but that's what OH said!), we have had no damage - unbelievable really.
Last night I really did feel like Dorothy and expected in wake up in Oz!! Only a bit of wind now though and no rain but a few heavy hail showers earlier.
That's all for now, I must get some work done today as did very little yesterday with worrying about my beagle boy and couldn't make phone calls with him crying in the background!!!

Glad to hear things aren't too bad for Forkers who've reported in
Blue sky and fluffy clouds here - but I've a feeling that the weather will change when I go into the city on the bus
Hopefully Panda is getting brekkie in bed this morning after her adventure
