Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Hello there @Pat E 😊 how’s your day been?
The weather was still pretty wild here at bedtime but it’s much calmer now … we seem to have escaped pretty lightly around here … we’ll stand back and peer at the roof tiles at some stage later today, but as far as I can see from the upstairs windows, although a few things are ‘out of place’ there’s no real harm done. I know not everyone will have been so lucky and our thoughts are with friends and family who have suffered storm damage to homes and gardens.
Wondering how @Hostafan1 and other friends in the west and southwest are faring and whether they have power etc …
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning folks. Just one arbour down. A lot of quite nearby places lost power. Didn't go shopping, stayed in,as per!!! Shopping today, grandkids next week,half term,extra supplies needed. Getting the washing up to date ready as well. Hope everyone is OK
Woke to sun, but it’s clouded over now. Escaped relatively unscathed considering how big the gusts were yesterday. Hopefully the mimosa will suffer no ill effects from its partial uprooting. The leaning birch tree looks stable enough, I’m sure our tree surgeons are run off their feet at the moment, so I won’t bother them for a few days. Looks like I will be occupied collecting up twigs for a while. Commiserations to all who have suffered damage.
Morning from a dull, but still, Wales. Today, we will be assessing the damage, doing some running repairs and ordering new rood panels and vent. I honestly thought we'd got the greenhouse all snug and I find it so disheartening to be doing it ll over again. But, it is only a greenhouse and we can repair it. I think I'm going to swathe it in clear UV tape this time. I'm just glad I haven't sown anything tender yet.
No damage here as far as I know. I think it's going to be one of those days when I'm bored witless if I'm not careful. I wish I could think of something madly exciting to do.

Just watching the BBC reports from the UK, some very dramatic scenes from the storm damage, and not quite over yet either. I do hope everyone is ok.
It's lovely here, and I have a day off, going to try and get some gardening done. Well tidying up anyway.
Overcast, dull and grey here. A stark contrast to yesterday's brilliant sunshine.
I hope everyone is safe and sound from the storms.
Have a pleasant day.
Looks like we've survived Dud 'n' Eun unscathed here
I'm a bit chilly. Our friends don't have the heating on very much, they are hardier than us. Thank goodness for the woodburner in the sitting room.
The wind has dropped.
