Batten down the hatches again

Very high winds here and brilliant sunshine and 22c! Power cuts on and off all morning

It's certainly revving up this way isn't it @Gay Gardener at least it's a warm gale...

 

I thought it was bad enough in the Vale of York yesterday and today, but it sounds like we have got off light.

 

Just had a power cut, oh the joys of living in the countryside with the power going off every time the wind blows, there's a thunderstorm, or the creaking infrastructure fails.

 

We have the same issues @Scrungee We had a short power cut here too this afternoon. I swear sometimes the only reason we have power here, is because someone's got a load of mice on their wheels linked into the supply!

 

cor its blowing a right old storm here , leaves all over the place

 

The wind has really got up here too, thank god it's a warm wind.

@'M' no food in the hanging baskets but I guess the girls would like a nibble if they manage to get in the kitchen!

Stay safe everyone

 

The garden is fine, nothing lost, not greenhouse damage and fencing remaining erect phew...

The drive to work, couple of branches down water was more of a problem, some very large puddles along the road in places...

Haven't checked the allotment yet, hopefully tomorrow if my hip allows, a work accident.

 

Hope the allotment is okay @Ellie Jones and that your hip is not too painful :( Sounds unpleasant, whatever happened :(
