I never heard a thing last night, it was a bit wet last night before I went to bed and it's a bit windy this morning but nothing more than usual. In the garden the only thing that's changed is that one of the perennial sunflowers has decided to have a lie down on one of the curry plants, something for me to sort out later.

Total destruction here. One of my neighbour's petunias was bent and people are saying that in another street, someone's wheelie bin fell over. Police are cordoning off the street at the moment.

Is that a Plant?

 

[perplexed]

Disaster teams are pouring into the south as we speak. There are thousands of people with twigs scattered everywhere, and they need our help now!

I know its been posted before, but hey ho!

I was right to drive in, a few trees down and the wind still gusting. Hope it dies down before my lunch ride.

Well my drive in was more hazardous than normal as the only cyclist i saw was struggling to keep his bso in a straight line , now i am not sure if it was the wind or his flatish rear tyre that was causing the issue !

I had mild difficulty feeding the guinea pigs this morning as the trellis with climbers on it had blown off the wall and was blocking the back door. I managed to move it without damaging the plant, although the downdraught from the news helicopter startled the piggies.

I passed a couple of wheelie bins that had been blown over on my way in to work.
BBC Breakfast were reporting back live from the scene.

The paths this morning were literally strewn with a few conkers

One of the apples has blown off the tree...

Jnr's paddling pool blew against the rose bushes in the garden and caused a puncture.
One of the sunflower pots blew over.
The lid of the paper recycling box blew down the road.
The milk bottles holder on the front step also got blown down the road.
I said to Mrs Ian, who was visibly upset at all the damage It's OK love,. we can rebuild.

Actually, on closer inspection it seems the garden fence has blown over and the neighbour's dog wants squatting rights. Drat.
