Yes ph, I remember seeing this on BBC website. So they are still pumping away after all these weeks; it is impossible for me to visualize just how much water there is in that area. I really hope that these people can reclaim their homes and gardens soon
Lizzie - great news on potted plants. I think there is now an infrastructure in the flooded area ready to receive them.... our challenge is going to be transport. I've had no luck so far in drumming up help from various national chains, but I'm not giving up! In the meantime.... where are you? Maybe we can use you as a test case to see if we can manage transport using members of this forum... (eg who lives near you and is planning to travel in the right direction, maybe relaying with other members?). Yes, OK, probably too complicated but we could at least look into it!
Meanwhile I'm also beginning to thing that GJ must have drowned in a flood of seed packets! Or possibly the fine weather has at last let her get out there into the lovely garden and do productive things. I think we are all feeling better now the sun is shining...

Rosie, any more news about the flooded gardens? Are they starting to drain?
philippa,
I just had visions of GJ unable to get out of the house, with a mountain of seed packets covering her front door.
Are these the big pumps from Holland?

Picture in today's Telegraph shows road now open in Moorland (where it says they had 8ft of water and I'm only 5 ft - doesn't bear thinking about!
Got lots of potted up plants to go whenever we get the word.
