After the storm last night when the torrential rain beat on the Velux window in the bathroom like a monsoon (not that I have ever heard a monsoon) and the wind caused the trees in the wood to toss and creak and roar like the ocean waves we woke this morning to a bright day. This is the view from the back door this morning.
We were lucky not to have sustained any damage here although according to this
news item just down the road at Yeovilton the winds were 75 mph. and not everyone was as lucky as us. Mr M is out clearing the gutters which were filled with leaves and there will be some serious leaf sweeping to be done later in the garden but apart from that all is well here chez Marigold.
The wanderer tells me she is working from home this morning as there is no early morning public transport in London this morning although where she is she says you wouldn't know there had been a storm and even the For Sale notice on the house next door is still standing. It's obviously been very localised in its effects and we are thankful that we were not affected and hope that those of you in the UK are also as lucky this morning?
Glad to hear you and yours are ok Jane !
ReplyDeleteWe have been more than lucky, it didn't affect us at all. Beautiful morning here bright and sunny. Good luck with leaf sweeping, not so bad really! :)

Although there is a strong wind today we haven't suffered like many areas. We are very sheltered in our little close.
ReplyDeleteIn the event we seem to have been north of it ... sure it got a bit breezy, but nothing we're not used to in the Welsh wilds. So glad you're unscathed :)
ReplyDeleteNo problems here this morning, we must have missed the edge.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know all is well chez Marigold!
ReplyDeleteI had heard on the weather news that the UK had been hit by a bad storm, glad that all is well in your corner of the world, Jane.
ReplyDeleteone big tree in the park down, apart from that, no harm done. The river is very high, but no floods.
ReplyDeleteLots of trees down and a double decker bus blown over in next village. Lots of homes without power but all ok here and just a few branches in the road. Glad you're ok
ReplyDeleteI was prepared and put away potential hazards in the garden such as the washing line pole and the hanging baskets. We are lucky that it didn't affect us apart from blowing over the wheelie bins (bin collection day) and blowing me along the garden path! Very glad to hear that you are ok. x
ReplyDeleteWe had nothing up here in Yorkshire except a lot of rain!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were also not too badly hit. Xxx
So pleased to hear that you survived those awful storms. it was very hit and miss in this area wasn't it? Liz x
