Is Storm Ciara is coming to your area ?

Good morning. After a blustery and wet night (not me) we have the calm before the storm. Stay safe folks.

I believe so, but I should be able to get a bike ride in before she arrives.

Morning all.
Off for a walk around Whistlandpound this morning.

I don't think many will avoid it....seems pretty country wide. Got an early walk in while it's dry. Just a stiff breeze at the moment.

Rugby to watch later.

Morning all,
Much like Whelsie's night, blustery and wet.
It should brighten up a bit today, but the storm is coming overnight

Owdo

Due to get windy later today, with heavy snowfall forecast. That'll be a light breeze and possibly a 1/4" of snow in reality.

Yep, they are certainly playing it safe with their warnings now. Invariably turns out to be no where near as bad as predicted.

Salut! I am going to test drive the new Renault Captur this morning although I have no intention of changing mine which is 5 years old now but still runs like a brand new car. I am just curious to see how they have changed the interior. Probably start wallpapering the kitchen later, either before or after the rugby. Nice and sunny at the moment but Clara is on its way later and at its peak tomorrow I believe.

Tomorrow is another day, one that will never get here.

My eldest grandson had his second driving lesson on Thursday. He spent his entire first lesson driving round the car park in town. He didn't actually get out onto the road. 😄

His second lesson went a bit better. He was on the road. Hoorah.

It does look rather nice. Although there seems to be a few complaints, mainly about the electrics in French cars, I have had a couple of Peugeots that I liked and were totally reliable. The new 208 looks quite nice too, and comes in electric too.

I think the complaints about the electrics is a thing of the past now. My Captur was bought new in 2015 and has always been reliable and is very economical. The best part about it is the fact that it is £0 rated for VED, All new cars now have to pay a minimum of £145 a year , except electric ones of course. So why pay for something I get for free? Also, depreciation is high on new cars and I am not playing that game anymore.
