philippa, that is very interesting. Last Autumn when there was a danger of East Anglia flooding because of high tides (as happened in 1953) I spent hours trying to contact the EA, both by phone and on their website with no luck. I complained sharply by email and the response was 'that they hadn't realised so many people would try to get onto the site'!!! If local responsibility is taken out of their hands that can only be a good thing; they seem to me to be out of touch with the reality of flooding.
It's the sea that's the threat here isn't it artjak. Drainage of the rivers seems more sorted. I think our place is OK til the sea level rises some more so if you ever do have to evacuate we have a spare room

Nut, you are so kind; and I promise to help you with weeding in exchange
A bit of a bump in case anyone is interested
Philippa, I think we need Rosie to tell us about that as she uses facebook.
I will check it out, folks! Watch this space...
A little bump to keep everything lively...the weather here in the Fens has been pretty fab; both rain and sun. Rosie we await your facebook news
Have been harvesting fruit and veg all day; may have to make gooseberry wine (there is only so much gooseberry fool that one can eat)
Little bump
