Winter wind and rain here. South East coast of the Isle of Wight.

Ferries out of Portsmouth and Poole stopped I hear :-(

What have you got and where are you?

The good point? Tops the water butts up and settles any dust about ;-(

Why is everybody so eager to rush into winter? They complain they've had
no summer (it's
not been THAT bad) and one bit of wind and rain and it's winter!

Enjoy the benefits of Autumn when it really does arrive in 2 weeks'
time. There was a
beautiful mist over the water meadows a few days ago and sunshine which
lifted my spirits
no end.


Maybe it's just that the summer has been so awful that it's almost a
relief to stop hoping/pretending that we may yet get a good deal.
