I am - but high up in the hills between Bristol and Bath, so we're okay. Lots of rivers have burst their banks again (as they did in February), but it's mostly over fields rather than in the villages. We've no power cuts or drinking water shortages this far west. Things are pretty bad a bit further up the M5 towards Gloucester, though. I'd imagine the harvest will be pretty bad this year too.

Best wishes, Clive
