Letters: Up to here with mud

To our horror, we woke up on Wednesday morning to find our entire house covered in mud. Mud everywhere and in all the cupboards. Outside was worse. My husband’s car was buried in mud, the driveway was like those disasters you see on TV.
Fortunately, I kept my cool and immediately phoned the fire brigade, which responded within minutes and managed to create a diversion up the road to stop further mud entering the property.
There was damage to the car which is insured. Damage to other household items are piling up at great expense. Thanks to Jason Cotrell that arranged for 007 Plant Hire to clear the driveway which took two days, thanks James and 007 team.
Thanks to our dear friends who rallied around to assist with clean up and offering accommodation.
Still lots of work to be done, needless to say our backs are taking strain after all we are 69 and 71 years of age.
Never want to hear the word mud again.
