          Looks like we're right in the firing line here, gusts of up to 55mph on Monday morning!

          So glad I've booked next week off. :biggrin:

            Looks like the whole bottom half of the country is in the firing line.

              I think this might be a candidate for website of the day

                    I use this weather station and find the results are fairly accurate.:cool:On the BBC weather forecast this morning they are now saying the wind speed for parts of the country could reach 90mph tonight/tomorrow.:hate-shocked:

                    http://www.northantsweather.com/

                    One lots of friends in the village have gone away for the week with their 2 cats/dog in their caravan to Shropshire and another family have gone to Skegness with their three kids to stay in their static caravan so don't envy none of them this week:hate-shocked:

                    Please stay safe everyone with whatever Mother Nature throws at us tonight/tomorrow and hope we all come through it unscathed to garden another day:runforhills:
