Main Street

Things are getting quieter as work teams, from outside of our area ,begin to pack up for a fortnight's holiday. In among the skips and vans our Christmas tree is still standing. Look carefully at the lower branches and you can tell which way the water ran and also how high.

Many children have been affected by the floods but have been helped as much as possible to cope with the upset. Today BBC teams were in school and that will be shown on television tonight or tomorrow we think.


Look what has appeared on every empty building in town. Every primary school child in Cockermouth must have contributed! I found it very moving to see all their messages. Their pictures showed just how much they had taken in of the drama that happened that night!

Rosalind, there is something very moving about that poor leaning christmas tree and the lovely children's artwork. Thank you for sharing.

Yes I agree! Most of the time everyone has been moving briskly about in the clear up operation-----but those pictures have made them stop and look. Certainly was a tear jerker when I saw the first one.
