Well, that was all a bit of nervous time. The strong winds coupled with the high tide meant that there was a very real danger of us being flooded out. Luckily our sea banks held firm, but others were not so lucky. There has been flooding in the centre of Boston, with the Boston Stump (St Botolph's Church) amongst others receiving a lot of damage. Depending on which news report you read, anywhere between 200 to 1000 people were evacuated from their homes as the water came in. Nature reserves got a battering too. We hear that both Titchwell and Snettisham got a battering. Here in Lincolnshire, and just a bit up the coast from us, the visitor centre at Gibraltar Point got inundated. All in all, we're feeling quite lucky!
So, I am happy to say that the reserve is now open for business for usual. Hope to see you soon...
