I don't know where you,ve been hiding Kapri but we were treated to a major storm last night!Our village made it onto the news this morning as we had two roads closed with fallen trees!

There are many flood alerts in Wales & many people without power. Wales & South West most badly affected so far & the worst is yet to come apparently!

Just about to brave the wind & rain again now

We had high winds last night and it's still really blowy now.
One of the doctors I work with said that Yeovil was hit quite badly but we seem to have escaped the worst of it here.

we're lucky then as we have only a bit of a gust and a bit of rain. Nothing out of the ordinary. So far anyway

After a couple of months of record sunshine and temperature, we can handle a storm for a couple of days.

Luckily not much in the way of rain although that could change any minute
It's been very bright here today - just bloody windy

That's because we haven't

We really ought to put the guy up for a job with the UK tourist board... or get him elected to parliament..... either one would suit him

My old hometown is all over the BBC news today - those pictures of the sea lapping around the doors in Teignmouth - I lived there

Spent a long time on the phone today to friends - it's pretty mad down there!
