: Hi
: Braved the torrential rain and gusts of wind to visit the allotment
: this afternoon. The top half had puddles of water (the rest is on a
: slope ) AND my recently planted onions, which have grown quite a bit
: were waving at me from the puddles
: Now as a new allotmenteer - I'm a tad worried - do they stand a
chance
: of rotting or will they be OK?
: Battenning down the Hatches in Cumbria...
: LW

: All I'm going to say to that, is that one wet year in Jersey, farmers
I knew
: who had côtils - steep but cultivable slopes - planted their seed
potatoes
: three times...... To be honest, there's not a lot you can do either
way,
: is there?
: From wild last night to mild this morning here in North Staffordshire a
: beautiful sunny day.
:
: Grey and still windy here but much less wind than before. The photos on
: this morning's Western Morning News of the sailing yachts thrown around
in
: the marina in Plymouth had a certain irony - the boat most prominently
: featured was called Maverick!
:
: I spoke too soon - the wind is back with a vengeance, the rain is hurling
: down and it's absolutely vile. ;-(

Just been across to Whitsands and the roof of 'The View' cafe on the main
cliff road has been torn off completely
