As I opened the front door to go out, everything in the hall went backwards like some giant hand had tipped the house. The dog immediately transformed into a sleak streamlined black missile on legs which was being tested in a wind tunnel. Outside amongst the frenetic pinball of litter a slow armada of parents and offspring tacked their way towards school, toddlers and lunchboxes set to a broad reach. A bus stop sign got fed up with waiting and took off after a passing taxi. And me? I packed the missile in the car and went to the woods to play chicken.
Is it windy? Oh my, is it windy.

Living in the land of terraced houses and derelict victorian buildings I am getting a bit wary of the chimney pot and flying roof slate factor out there at the moment.

I was stopped dead in my tracks by one gust this morning. I had to put my foot down just to stop being blown over. Apparently there was a gust of about 55mph at that time just up the coast!
Of course it had to turn round for the way home

It was so calm I could see the reflections of the ships and land on the sea this morning, although it did rise to a Force 2 later.
