Whilst I don't think its healthy to dwell on the downsides in life, I came upon this short film by Chris Freer today. It's almost exactly a year since my home town was flooded so dramatically, and as a member of Cockermouth Mountain rescue team I was able to do something that directly helped the rescue and recovery effort.

Whilst films and pictures of the events of those few days are readily available, this piece shows quite neatly the way that Chris and his young family were affected by what happened.

In the meantime, the town is nearly fixed and most of the building work is complete.
