Villages were isolated, homes evacuated, the farming community in disarray and the bad weather relentless.

5 live reporter Sarah Ransome has been to meet builder Dave Branfield, seen here on the right, whose business is booming as a result of the weather, at James Winslade's farm where hundreds of cattle had to be evacuated.
