Disaster strikes!

After high winds and torrential rain I came home last night to find part of the roof of my little Blue Cottage on the floor in the garden! The rain had been pouring in during the day whilst I was out and my lovely hardwood floor was totally awash with rainwater.

I e-mailed the company late last night & they came up from Suffolk straight away this morning - which I must say was good service - to make it water tight for the terrible weather expected over this weekend and the hatches are literally batoned down now until after the New Year.

I dispair of ever getting this place up and running. Fingers crossed I do one day!
