Chilterns: mostly sunny, but have already had to rescue the dustbin
lid, the Christmas tree (potted, but still not too heavy to blow over)
and various bits of other tree. We lost all the trellis and the
honeysuckles in the last bad blow, so at least they're not going to go
again. So far we still have a TV aerial, and I am glad the car's
hiding in the garage.

At least something is happening in season - given we should get gales
at equinox time.
