The wind is getting up quite a bit and the sky is very omnibus, getting
a darker grey by the minute. It's hard to tell because the light is bad but it may be raining on top of the fields on the horizon. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Not here as yet but as we are rather exposed on top of a hill on the South Devon coast (550 feet up) we are quite used to breezy weather. The '87 storm brought a number of mature trees down in the wood but at least our neighbour has had his oaks and beeches topped a bit which is slightly comforting as they would take out a fairly large chunk of our living area if toppled by the forecast south westerlies. -- rbel |

It's gone very quiet now, no wind, no rain. The worry with a storm at this time of year is the leaves are still on the trees and give them windage. That was the trouble in 1987, too. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

The 1800 chart has a fairly non descript feature for this storm, it'll have to deepen a lot and rapidly to give any serious trouble. It's likely to track south of us so we won't get much in the way of wind or rain but we have had about 4" of that over the last few days anyway. The latter part of next week might be more interesting as the next atlantic complex sends lows across Scotland. Cold arctic air looks as if it might get dragged in as well, 1st snows of the year are sort of due end of Oct early Nov. -- Cheers Dave. |

My ex-husband (who was NOT into gardening at all) once pronounced Cotoneaster exactly as it is spelt.

Ray and I differ on pronunciations of plant names but it's an amicable wrangle - Clematis, Alyogyne, Chaenomeles lead to debate! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
