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.

We had summer and autumn last weekend !!

We seem to have done the same today. It's been a bit blowy, a bit
rainy, a bit sunny and rather muggy, too. No frost or snow, so far!


Another gale is forecast for Sunday and an even bigger one for Monday.
They seem to come in pairs.

There are two sides to a hurricane - the leading edge and the diametrically
opposite edge passing through later.
