Thanx for asking Paul , my family are ok , thats them in the bottom picture looking over the Levels .
Thview from the top of the hill shows only half of the flooding & in most areas it is around waist deep , i was good to see the Ryal Marines helping out , sadly there are people still out in the middle of the floods looking after animals etc .
while we were there the royal marines rescued a family & 3 dogs 4 cats

We took a trip onto the Somerset Levels to lend a helping hand to those that needed it but found there wasnt much that could be done apart from barrow stone to make the bank of thye river parrett higher to prevent flooding into houses.
Here are a few pictures that shows the full scale of the flooding & also showing the BBc & Sky news reporters that were covering the tragic story .
In one of the pictures show a resident just rescued with a few belongings & her pet West higland terrior
The other west highland terrior is mine

Ian , It may be a bit of useless information , however it is still part of the History of your tractor . The previuos owner before me was a guy named Wayne Hemingway
Take a look at the video to meet him .
This guy built his own house using your tractor to transport materials around the building site .

Ande . Buckfastleigh is about half hour drive from where i live , but it very near Dawlish that has been hit very hard .
Thanx for the concern guys , I have one hell of a lot of clearing up to do when the water receeds .
Trees down , about 25 fence panels plus all the clearing up of debrit from the flooding . I am not even contemplating putting up new fences until the high winds drop , so i guess its gonna be a busy spring with most weekends taken up repairing things . Not gonna have much time for working on any of my tractors Me thinks

Wow, some of those guys were not wearing crash helmets , would be allowed here in UK

Karl, The place where the railway line has collapsed is in a small town in the South west UK called Dawlish which forms part of the historical Jurassic coast which is millions of years old & has fossils from the Jurassic period.http://www.itv.com/news/2014-02-05/huge-waves-damage-railway-line-in-dawlish/
Here is a picture of what it would normally look like
& here are some picture of the recent storm damage

Nigel , I dont understand how you can build or restore something and then sell it . I am amazed that you dont get attached to your machines .
I like this one , would be a really useful tool to have arount the yard .

In the 6 years i have lived here i have been flooded 4 times , The summer of 2012 was the worst , but this is now getting that way .
Here a few pictures taken from my bedroom window & we also lost a large tree from high winds at the weekend
