The rescue...and friendships.

 


Friends Dennis and Angela have had the most to deal with amongst our friends here in Southern Touraine due to the horrendous flooding in the area. They were 'rescued' by the local 'Pompiers',who have been great during this crisis and ferried from their 'island' over to Barrou where they were met by numerous friends with offers of support. They have since been offered the use of so many houses/gites as alternative accommodation but are working at getting their own home back into order. We are blessed here with friends who always rally round when necessary.

Calm after the storm

 

Took this last night after an eventful day where the bridge had been visited by hundreds of onlookers checking out the force of nature. 
Apparently caused by two months rain falling in 2 days!
