Well, after all that wind and rain, and some disturbing noises outside
that had to wait till morning to investigate, I found we've got off
very lightly. The dustbin lid has gone AWOL, the bird table was at
45degrees, one cement troll fallen off the wall and smashed, and quite
a bit of water in the greenhouse. So far, I think that's it.

How did you get on?

Bit windy and some heavy rain, which appears to have found a way into
our garage, not too bad though.

Howling wind and rain forcing its way in through closed windows! Then
it all died away and was quiet. But it's quite gusty again this morning
with some very cold showers. I'm told that up on the moor, just outside
Ashburton, it's snowing.

Last night I could hear some thudding noises but too dark to see, and was
so this morning when I set out.
Came home for lunch break and I can see some felt on a nearby shed flapping
around. It's a miracle it hasn't torn off and blown away.
