Stop Press
Those of you who have been following the news recently will be aware of the
flooding in Carlisle and the Tyne Valley. At the point of writing, Rick
is still marooned in Carlisle whilst Brian was involved in a dramatic incident
on Saturday night when he and several other residents of Haydon Bridge
in Northumberland tried to prevent the River Tyne entering their houses.
Whilst building a makeshift flood wall in his back garden he lent backwards on his
fence for a temporary rest and the fence collapsed.
However, thanks to excellent co-ordination and balance
(so important for one who dances The Morris) he fell in and had to be rescued by, of all things, The AA.
This story has now passed into legend in Haydon Bridge
