I heard on the news that the late William Wordsworth's house, he of 'Daffodils' fame, is flooded too. I live in Northern Ireland- part of the UK. Yesterday, for me was a respite day of dry bright weather, while today Saturday we are back to the eternal rain once more. We did have flooding in Co Fermanagh, a lakeland county over to the west. Way down south in the Republic of Ireland, Cork is floating once more. A short clip can be found <a href="http://www.euronews.net/2009/11/21/floods-devastate-nw-england/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I live on a hill, and in weather like this I am very thankful. Brighid, The flooding mentioned above in the the north west of the UK Mainland.

Are you in any danger? I don't know where you are so, thought to ask. I’m sorry to hear about all the flooding over there. Are you in any danger? I don’t know where you are so, thought to ask.

One was a long ski tour & Tom kept saying we must turn around & go back. Hard to do--so beautiful & exciting. We had to run all the way back to beat the night. At night we couldn't have gone on. One was a very long hike when we met up with a bear with an arrow sticking out of it. (We survived.) One was a week backpack. When we got to the cars they were all stuck in the mud--also in the wilderness. (The kids ask on these trips, "Are we in serious trouble?") I can't begin to tell about the river trips in kayaks. The canyon walls & isolated places we slept were beautiful--the colors. Nothing beats the wonderful life we've had. (All that was my husband's ideas.)

My boots were bought in 1973 and I still use them from time to time...resoled several times in the mean time and well fed with Neatsfoot oil every so often and at other times with Nikwax. the secret of not getting blisters is to wear at least two pairs of socks..cotton on the inside and woollen on the outside.
