Batten down the hatches.....

I was lucky, and aside from a few bits of tree all over the place, my garden seems to have made it through ok.
Very grateful for that.

I think the storm wasn't as bad as some of the scaremongers were predicting.

 

Still gusting away here

Sorry to hear about your arch, woo (if I remember correctly, it's the same as mine). Hopefully, the arch itself is still in tact?

 

Suns coming out here

 

It's been a bit of a damp squib in the Midlands (thank goodness, at least it motivated me to sort out the greenhouse) but am on my way to Somerset today, totally against Met Office advice.

 

Winds reached 99mph on the Isle of Wight, hope @Aesculus wasn't too scared.

 

Blue flashes?! That doesn't sound good! Glad your power's back

 

According to this, the North is getting our turn next weekend

right now in Liverpool, it's a blustery rainy day, but not what you would call a storm.

 

The previous Mrs Zigs just called in to phone work, she nearly got there but a tree was blocking the road to South Petherton.

Where in Somerset? Should I put the kettle on?

 

.....hopefully the forecasts will change before then (wishful thinking!).

 

A holiday house in Theale near Wedmore. It's between Glastonbury and Wells, should we be fortunate enough to arrive there. Plenty of water around there already, I believe!

Where are you?

 

And us Brits call them "depressions". No wonder you moved to Spain!

 

Bit further south, Hambridge
