We are very lucky our house is in a high position here in Ipswich with all this flooding. We're not far from the evacuation centre, the roads are eerily quiet but every so often there is the sound of a helicopter taking off or landing and the occasional siren. Even though we're in a very safe position it's hard not to feel very frightened. I keep wondering how we would ensure the safety of a baby and a not quite 3 year old if we got into any trouble with flood waters. We heard from friends tonight who had to be airlifted to safety and others who have been evacuated from their homes.
Meanwhile we have been trying to watch the news without having the big girl watch too much of it and trying to stay sane while trapped indoors with no chance of a trip to the park, the train museum (a favourite place) or even the supermarket. It's too dangerous to venture out anywhere and most businesses won't be opening anyway. Tomorrow is supposed to be the worst of it so we'll spend another day checking on friends and family and figuring out what kind of help might be needed.
Definitely cuppsy tea times.
