Well what a night/early morning it's been, absolutely vicious gusts of wind here which rudely woke me up several times during the night I wanted to have a lye-in this morning but no such joy. Also torrential rain in the last couple of hours which has been going sideways in the wind, interesting to hear of reports of snow in some places too I'm surprised about that no snow to speak of here but that's the last thing we need at the moment what with everything else going on outside. It's been absolute chaos, must have had a few gusts in the 60mph+ region I'd say! I get the impression it has eased off a tad in the last half an hour or so though.......touchwood!
