Here, in France, there is a gale blowing, I mean a real gale, I don't
mind being in the garden even when it's raining but it is dangerous
with tiles coming off roofs.

Terrible here in Normandy. It just isn't safe to be outside
- everything is blowing past the window - plastic plant
pots, garden chairs, trees, sheep, cows, tractors :-)
I fear for our roof in this weather. At least we should be
too hight up to be flooded, though the road below could
become unpassable.

I've just come back from a friend's and I was dodging fallen branches,
it seems even though you and I are in different parts of France, our
weather is the same.


We've got a 9 month old puppy to exercise, had him on a shortish walk
through the woods today, a large oak had come down across the path,
was held up by trees on the other side. *We ran underneath, things were
really swinging around. *Then found out later a lorry driver was killed quite
near here as an oak came down on his cab.

A hard day on the ridge in Normandy. *I'm glad I got the shutters closed last
night.

Hi Emery, long time no hear! Two people were killed near our home
yesterday whilst out hunting, trees came down on them. It's still
blowing but it has lessened.


Hi Judith,

Hope you are both staying warm in the hills!

You'd have to be crazy to hunt in a storm like we had yesterday. But
I guess they paid the price...

Wind is finished (relatively speaking) here for now, nothing more forecast
until tomorrow afternoon. Well, except rain of course! Tis the season,
and getting rather bored with it.

cheers,

-E
