Nana Duck's Cottage, Holiday Cottage, Thirsk, North Yorkshire.

Gosh we have had some serious rain up here in North Yorkshire in recent weeks!!! So much water comes down from the hills that it makes the river really swell, often to scary heights here at Nana Duck’s Cottage! We are so grateful for our housekeeping team and friends, Lindsay, Jon and Chloe plus our family friend Barrie and our amazing neighbours for keeping us up to date, popping round to check the height and flow and letting us know how things are looking! We seem to spend hours on the Flood alert app watching the river heights which is a really accurate way of telling if the river is getting dangerously high! When mum was alive, her beautiful cottage flooded three times, once really badly, so we are always on the watch out for the tell tale signs from those years! Having a cottage on a river side can be just stunning, but also quite scary!! Thank you to our friends and neighbours for helping to keep our cottage safe!!! Rain - please go away! You’ve made your point now!! Have a squelchingly good day!! ### #riverside #river #northyorkshire #holidaycottage. #floodaware. #herriotcountry. #northyorkmoors. #thirsk

It’s World Mental Health Awareness Day today and what could be better for your mental well-being than a lovely stroll just as the leaves are starting to tumble down, conkers are growing on trees and a slight chill is in the air - a sure sign that autumn is around the corner. Love this time of year here at Nana Duck’s HQ and Herb, our gorgeous boy certainly loves a little swim, even when it’s getting colder! Don’t worry he soon dried off in the autumn sunshine with his little drying coat on! He was too embarrassed for a photo with that on though! Hope this makes you smile, even though the nights are drawing in! Keep smiling all and look after your mental health - a little walk can make the world of difference! Laura, Neil and Herb the woof ###

UPDATE!!! Thanks so much to Trev and our neighbour Janice for their video and photo updates! The river has now receded from the road and is going back down the grass to where it belongs! Fingers crossed for no more rain and melting snow on the hills! Thanks all! Well it’s been a pretty worrying few days for us here at Nana Duck headquarters as we anxiously watched the flood alerts and graphs for Cod Beck which usually runs about fifty metres away along the front of the cottage at a relatively steady speed! One of the challenges for us is that we don’t live locally to my late mum’s cottage and with Lockdown we can’t even get there!!!! So, in the midst of the rising river we want to express our Massive thanks to Trev and Sarah, who look after Nana Duck’s for us for popping round frequently to check the river levels which kept rising last nights we anxiously watched the graphs and waited fkr the emergency phone call! As we watched the graphs rising, worry was hitting an all time high, but thankfully neighbours were regularly in touch. In the middle of the night, the worst happened and the river broke its banks, rising fast towards the cottages! We are so very thankful to our amazing neighbours who immediately sprung to action saving the day with emergency phone calls to the council who brought sand bags. The incredible neighbours then braved the cold, rain and snow to secure the courtyard and prevent our sottages being flooded! Thank you Marion, Wendy, Janice, Rosie and everyone else for your incredible actions! Here’s hoping the river is going back down from the pavement and the rain stops! In the photos you can see how the river has spread all the way across the grass area (where the trees are!) and onto the road! Terrifying! We are eternally grateful to our friends and neighbours in Thirsk for saving Nana Duck’s from flooding! Thank you!!!!
