Dear all,
Saw a thread expressing some concern re Bill and Eileen at Abberton. This is their son, Owen – I’m happy to tell you that they are alive and well, and sheltering at a friend’s house in Helidon.
The property was inundated on Monday, but the house is still standing. Due to the phone lines being congested I’ve had only limited contact with them so I don’t have much more information. It will be uninhabitable for a while, and it will be some time before it’s ‘business as usual’ from the Jollys.
I can’t reply directly to the other thread until my membership is cleared – hopefully this message will get through in the meantime. Thanks for your concern. I’m afraid I don’t have any info about other people in the valley, if I find anything out I’ll post it.

Halleluja!!!! Doesn’t mean everyone is out of the fire, but at least an enormous relief re Bill and Eileen. Thank you Owen.
Cheers, Peter Madvig
