We're flooded in Aberdeenshire.

I was looking at the Press and Journal on line and the photographs of flooding are horrendous. I've never seen anything like it in the East of Scotland which is normally one of the drier parts of the country. It's so sad. I hope you can keep dry, Katek.

Bit close for comfort Katek Good luck.

Take care Katek.......how dreadful for everyone being flooded.

Katek fingers firmly crossed for you.

We've been watching this on the news and feeling so desperately sorry for all of you who've been caught up in the floods over recent weeks. A few years ago there was some fairly bad flooding not far from us - I recall the landlord of a pub had only just re-opened after a previous flood had shut them down for several months. And he had only taken over the pub that year - what a horrendous start for him, to be flooded out twice in quick succession.
So no, it's not 'back to normal' when it's dried out - that's only the start . I do hope the flooded burn doesn't reach your doors Katek. [fingers crossed emoticon]

Katek, have seen on the news today, how awful it is for you all in your area. Keep safe. x

It is so dreadful for everyone caught up in this - and the mess it leaves behind is appalling. I do hope all Gransnetters are managing to stay dry.

so sorry to hear of your plight. Such a lovely place Aberdeen and its surroundings. I hope all gets back to normal soon and that the water has not invaded your house.

Thanks Not-we're currently keeping a very close eye on the burn. Dd has had to wade through 18" of water to get to her door. Worrying times.

Katek - feel so sorry for all of you up there. We were flooded out in 1998 and it is absolutely no fun. People think that once the water has gone and you are dried out it is all back to normal but, of course, it is not. Our house needed so much work doing (digging up foundations, taking plaster off the walls etc etc) that we had to live upstairs for six months. We could have moved into a hotel but DH wouldn't hear of it as he wanted to keep an eye on what was going on. All this happened around the time my father died and our daughter was in hospital with glandular fever. On the plus side, none of this affected the eventual sale of the property. Our buyers were totally unconcerned that we had been flooded only two years previously.

My very best wishes to you. I hope things soon improve.

Pic is sideways for some reason...sorry.
