We live next to a small river, it has never been known to flood our property but it came a little too close for my comfort in 2000. Last year our roof leaked, and although it was renewed, I start to panic if we have heavy rain. I know it is stupid, and my family can't understand why I am not thinking logically. The river has a huge flood-plain and the roof is fixed!
Funnily enough I like spiders and snakes, creatures of which many others are phobic!
