Reading about Charles Dickens born 1812, Says he experienced 6 White Christmases in his early childhood, 1814 may have been one, His stories been thought the reason why we associate Christmas and snow, Scrooge[A christmas carol] being story that comes to mind, Snowy streets of London,
The river cerne been cleaned out of all the debris over last few days,which will help a little,But river still very high and fast. Parts of the Frome still very high and some water still on fields, Be interested to hear the state of river Brit? Remember before flood defence work. Bridport got flooding, Around where Morrisons is now would get rather bad at times. Remember some flooding of River Wey, around Upwey area by the ford?
My neighbours homes still not fully recovered after last flood.Insurance company arranged for them have replacement carpet laid, They only finally got it two weeks ago, Local Church just dried out and nicely decorated for Christmas, Just can only hope river not come visiting again
