Apparently it was v surreal to end up in a luxury spa. My eldest and his friend went for a swim etc between checking when the roads might open. LOL. ANd getting out was a trip because they had to keep doubling back as more and more roads closed in the highlands. At one point they worried it was going to be a bit like The Prisoner with them ending up back in Inveraray but my youngest who lives in Scotland knew the back route over the mountains.
Thank you. It was v hard book to write for some reason. Hopefully I can just concentrate on the next one. Put my imagination into that.
Thank God your husband and sons are safe. I can't imagine being in the middle of any kind of flood situation like that.
BBC should be ashamed.
A young man who graduated from my high school last year and joined the IDF is one of the missing. I can't even wrap my mind around what his parents must be feeling.
I was like --thank goodness you are safe and that it wasn't your car washed away or you didn't have to be airlifted out. They were travelling in two cars and it was simple happenstance that they ended up stuck in the same place. My husband said that he spotted several cars and lorries up to their windscreens in water just beyond the closed road sign. It was simply a matter of minutes.
The BBC should be and heads should roll but I doubt they will. Totally cynical. One of the main Middle East correspondents has known biases which do show.
And OMG about that young man. My heart goes out to his parents. Hopefully there will be a minor miracle and he will emerge alive. But...
Always in my support. I learned my lesson in that from my grandmother who when my grandfather was stationed in Germany in the early 50s inherited a refugee camp from a British major. She helped get the remaining refugees to Israel and then worked to make the first kinderlifte from Berlin a reality. I didn't realise the full story until I found the letters after she died.
It is utterly terrifying when someone you love is in danger.
TY, as always, for all the links Michelle.
The situation in Israel just goes to show that people have lost their links to humanity. The BBC. It figures.
I was sorry to "hear" about Your family's troubles with the floods, but glad they got back safe and sound.
And I will say You all have a lotta very pretty coinage.
Finally, SO glad to hear about Your latest book. And can see where it would provide solace. Best o' luck. :-)
The coinage is v pretty isn't it?

Thank you as always for your unwavering support of Israel. So glad your husband and sons are safe; that sounds terrifying!
