This oak tree has been hanging on to its leaves despite the wind and rain of the past week.
The people of Cockermouth and Workington have not fared so well.
They have had a terrible time - many of them will have lost almost everythign as the water levels rose to 2.5 metres in places.

If you fancy supporting a bit sooner than woolfest (which I will go to one year dammit), the Cumbria Community Foundation has been set up for donations.
