    Thank goodness you’re ok @raisingirl
    Id forgotten how horrid being without power can be. We’ve never been without electricity for that long, and even then, have had the luxury of running water and a gas fire.
    I do find it scary how dependent I am on the internet. How ever did we cope in the old days?

    @raisingirl, sounds like you had it worse than us, glad you're ok. Fortunately for us my flasks of hot water, torches and candles weren't needed. I can live without the internet and hot food but would find it very difficult and boring to read by candlelight.  We kept our open fire for emergencies when we moved in and still have a logstore fully stocked so would have a bit of heat if necessary. However, I don't remember having had the power cut off for more than an hour or so we moved in 15 years ago.

    Thanks to Dove, for letting us know Hostafan is ok as well.

    There was a shocking picture in the news of a very large tree crashing right through someone's roof into bedrooms etc, thankfully no-one was hurt.

    There wasn't much damage at our friends' house, a fallen fence panel and the roofing felt from the shed was on the lawn.

    We had a look at Marlborough and had a good lunch in a very old pub in a village.

    I saw that tree on the house on the News @Lizzie27
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    It’s a bright sunny day here. Getting going on the washing while I can.  

    The black cockatoos are screaming in our pine tree, (noisy b…s), so they are telling us that there is rain on the way. 

    In the meantime, we’ve got some nice white fluffy clouds around. 



    I can see a three layer turtle in this one. 😁
