Batten down the hatches, again

90mph wind predicted for friday and heavy rain, this is the second 90mph storm in as many months, we've only just recovered from the last one. Holyhead port only partially reopened this week after being almost destroyed by the last one.

I feel I'm getting a bit blase, when I see the winds will only be 40mph, it wasn't that long ago that 40mph winds were a once a year thing, maybe twice a year in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

So it hits us friday night, I've got the candles ready and the xmas tree lights and batteries, so hopefully I'll see you all as usual on saturday, but if not then you'll know we've got no power!

  • Well at least we've got our new front door fitted and it feels really solid and secure.

    Martyn I empathise, I remember going to bed in our old place and mentally tucking the roof under my chin along with the covers. We did lose some slates during the xmas eve storm some years ago, I ended up sleeping downstairs for a few weeks, getting pushed into the fireplace by my old Doglet, who decided my "mat" was more comfortable than his!
