The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Just yesterday, as we drove to Hemerdon, near Plymouth, to have lunch
with friends, we remarked on how many of the trees were still holding
onto their leaves and that a lot are still very green. Well, I think
those that aren't green will be swiftly dealt with by today's weather!
It's pouring with rain and blow a hooley. I think we're going to have
a lot more leaves on the lawns today and it's not much of a day for
gardening, either!

Well the rain has just started here in N. Bristol now
waiting for the gale strength winds that are forecast ...

It's been precipitating down here in South Wales for about the last 90
minutes.

It did it for most of the two years I lived in and around Newport )
Dry days were the exception.

We've been there on two brilliantly hot days and umpteen very wet ones!

I recall the sunny days too )

Our experiences were lucky ones because they were when my daughter had
planned outdoor parties and they worked. On one particular day it was
so hot we all kept going indoors to cool down. Very unexpected but
very welcome. But I must admit that usually, as I approach Bristol,
the rain starts, or is looming.

We had the remains of your gale and rain last night. Most of the leaves have
gone. It is still raining and windy.

The gale has gone through - at least I hope it has and this isn't the
eye of the storm! But it's raining on and off and is just overall
gloomy - horrible! Poor Ray has picked up one of the bugs going around
and has a bad back too, while my step-son is still limping from a very
badly sprained ankle following a fall. My daughter has re-christened
this place 'Ill House!
