      Was thinking about that too Jenny as we are very close to water. High tide here midnight tonight and 1pm tomorrow. Arrrgh.

      Might divert my mind and post something about a plumbing problem I have ... I thought there was a DIY board??

      Sheal - I was living abroad in '87 but remember the shocking TV footage. Fingers crossed this will be much less nasty.

        The lighter of the 2 benches in the communal garden has just blown over and is on its back. No doubt the other one will go sometime. Best place for 'em.

          Hope no one was sitting on it Jenny!

          Been a lovely morning in the garden but the trees have now just started to wave around. Cleared up the leaves earlier but there's more than ever down now.

          Hope all will be well with everyone over the next few days.

                  Blustery, but not bad. Keeping my eye on the windspeeds in Cornwall, only 26 mph at the moment. Still 48 in Swansea.

                    That's interesting, could it be coming in further up the country?

                    Good idea, wouldn't want the car damaging the ash tree.

                          That's the wrong place Loli. Shunt it to the side the wind is blowing to. :biggrin: Are you after a new car as well? :)

                            The Eype bush cam was down earlier, I wondered if it went viral after posting on here.
