Good advice. With the changes in our weather patterns, no-one can be
complacent but it doesn't do to dwell on these things. When we move -
hopefully not too far in the distant future - I will consult the flood maps,
but you have to use your common sense about it. According to the maps almost
everwhere near a river or the coast, is at risk.
