Well after some torrential rain in the night we now have wind gusting
to well over 50 mph and forecast to get stronger.
Got 3 chrysanthemum beds prepared early in the week though it was
rather like stirring cold rice pudding, but with ground cover fabric
down I don't need to get onto the soil, though I can see me planting
from duck boards, though they do say next week will be better.

Same sort of day here, David. The wind has gone now, thank heaven, as
has the rain though that was intermittent. The forecast for the w/e is
pretty good, I think.


We are travelling on the Rotterdam ferry tonight, both Humber and Thames have
Shipping Forecast gale warnings. Nothing new.

I was about to ask you if you were planning some sea travel. It never
fails. Never! I think you should give advance warnings before you both
set foot on a ship!!
