Anything’s possible. Including me out in the garden this time yesterday morning, hanging on to part of the garden fence as one of the concrete posts collapsed under gales. A lot of the fences round here now look like the jumps on the second lap of the Grand National.
How did you do? The news said Wales copped for a bit as well. That Welsh village got it again, didnt it? (name escapes me). The best thing about bad weather is always watching the idiot local news reporters suffering on outside broadcasts. Arf!
It’s been a bit scary. At times I’ve even wondered how long the windows could continue to take the strain (the downside of having a big exposed sea-facing window in your living room, I suppose). I haven’t been down to the seafront to see what it looks like… But other places have been badly hit by floods and we haven’t (touch wood) had power cuts or anything like that here, so we’re doing okay really. It seems to be worst up in the north. And 80mph gusts recorded in Swansea! I can well believe it.

The met office reckon this could be on and off till the end of the month according to their 4 week cast. We’ve had the 80 mph gales but we do get strong winds pretty often here anyway. Hope you stay flood free. I know it can get a bit mad down there.
