Dutchess

We have experienced heavy rain for the last three days and although the sun shines as I write this on Friday morning, bad news is breaking about the aftermath. South Lakes has many closed roads making it difficult to get around. We’re not so bad here but look out over fields covered in water. If you log on to BBC Radio Cumbria or Lakeland FM you will be able to see images of the situation.

There’s a policeman lost in Workington and two bridges have been washed away in the northwest of the county. Much of the damage around Kendal is to developments on the River Kent’s flood plain unfortunately.

I might pop down to Newby Bridge later and have a look at the River Leven as it leaves Windermere. I’ll post an image or two if poss. Thanks for your message and concern. Apologies – this is a blanket message to all.

Goodnight D. sweet dreams...Poe...x

Yes, where the Bairn gone to. Yes, your email as gone awol. Sorry:( ;)

No, I don't talk proper Geordie. Geordies are from the Tyne area of Newcastle and sometimes I can't understand them. A Mackam is from the Wear area of Sunderland and a Moggie is from the Teesside area of Middlesbrough. I live about 6 miles west of Middlesbrough, the accent does differ a lot, I live 40 miles south of Newcastle upon Tyne and 50 miles north of York. So really my accent is cross between a Geordie and Yorkshire, but us Teessider's have our own local slang, say we call the kids...Bairn.
I could email it to you, if you could give me your email addy. I've lost it somehow.

That's alright then.....Poe...x

Hi Dawn, guess you're doing your hibernating bit at the moment.As long as you're OK ,enjoy ! .....Poe....x

Hi Dawn,

Fine thanks, you? Haven't been round much recently due to work and now my other NetBook developing aa boot-up failure. I believe the fan may be on it's last legs, which is in turn preventing the OS from loading. As it's a specialist part I think, it may not be too easy to rectify, and if it isn't I stand to lose up to a year's worth of work, c4Gb... not a good prospect since I didn't... back... up :(

See my Treehouse thread.

Thanks for the VM!

Take care,

Jason

Hello D., How are you doin'? ...Poe...x

Thanks D, I see what you mean, there were some good light conditions at the time, shame that it's a rubbish pic!

Woodman has taken the trap out of his picture and it looks beautiful now...
