It has been the most *awful* day here - howling gale and lashing rain all

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!

You haven't had snow yet.The did up north west during the night.

Even at its worst we had very little snow here while a 20 minute drive away
was where people were put up overnight in Exeter racecourse buildings when
they became stranded. If we get seriously bad snow in this precise area,
we'll be very, very surprised.
