Floods

With all the storms and rain this week, flooding has been worst in the town of Cockermouth. This morning the Guardian online had this photo -A child's toy racing car is tangled with wool and other debris Photograph: Anna Gowthorpe/PA

So much wool! Other photos show the force of the flood waters, and how high they rose in people's homes ... so I wonder if Cockermouth is a town of knitters, and the flood swept the balls of wool out of home and down the streets ... rather like the stream eventually took David Nash's "Wooden Boulder" down to the sea -
Also in the Guardian's photos, a resident is reunited with her dog. That one made me cry (floods of tears?) -
