Thread Name: Spare a thought for Boscastle, Cornwall
Subject: RE: Spare a thought for Boscastle, Cornwall
I heard the dreadful news at 7.30 this morning I was still half asleep and thought I might be dreaming, but no such luck. The news footage was devastating I cried to see such a beautiful place being ravaged by the power of the water and for the plight of those poor people. Mother Nature can sometimes be a cruel mistress. I have spent alot of time at Boscastle over the years and my first thoughts went out to the Witch museum and the great folks that run it. I did see a shot of it on the news and it's still standing but obviously damaged there's alot to be said for those old buildings they were built to withstand the weather. My thoughts and prayers go out to Boscastle and its residents lets just hope that everyone that's missing becomes accounted for. Hawker sorry to hear that you suffered from the weather as well I am a ways off in london but if we can help in any way just let me know I will be in touch with the help line too PM me if you need to.
