The message
from Sacha contains these words:

It has been the most *awful* day here - howling gale and lashing rain all
day since about 11am. It's still going on now. We seem to get at least one
of these as soon as the poor old rooks are completing their nests, sometimes
after they've got chicks, too and heaven only knows what goes through their
minds as they get hurled about the tree tops. Amazingly, we had some hardy
customers in today - they really must be the dedicated gardening types! I
hope others have had a rather more pleasant day and that his blows off, out
to sea pdq!

Went out for a paper and a bag of spuds earlier, and the wind was light,
the sky was grey and patchy, with not quite enough blue to molish a pair
of sailor's pants.

Got showered on while returning.

It's been dry ever since, but the wind has risen a lot.

I ferar it's going to be persisting down tonight...
