    Hi Clari & Lesley.

    Clari be careful out there. 

    I've had a quick look outside and a terracotta pot (with a mature palm in it) that is 2' high x 18" across filled with John Innes 3 and pebbles on the top has been blown sideways off the 3 bricks it was standing on image thankfully it is now leaning on the wall and steps and not in pieces on the patio. 

    Lesley kitchen gardening sounds an excellent ideaimage

    Blowy here too image Thankfully garden in good shape - not much to blow down though as all my fence panels that could go went in gales in 2013 image

  • Good morning, everyone! The winds hit here a little bit last night- but like I said before, I think we're very sheltered from the buildings here. It's raining a lot though.

    Off to BnQ today to get a studfinder- OH won't put anything up on the walls without a studfinder. He's helping with a kid's kung fu class today and he's not the paternal type at all. This should be interesting! image

    How is everyone today? image

    Morning all, seriously windy here. Woke up in middle of the night to an almighty crash, thought oh NO what has gone.

    Got up, got head torch and wandered around outside. Nothing seemed to be damaged, except a few pots broken. Some where a tree must have come down, but I can' see where.

    Several roads in Sheffield closed, because of the fallen trees.

    Off to buy some seed compost, so after the holiday I can start sowing.

    Stay safe everyone.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

  • Mornino everyone, very windy here but no damage part from Christmas tree blowing over all the time, I've left it lying down now!!

    Hope you're not to achy and sore this morning Lily.

    Looks like someone is wanted a weekend Monty debate..........I'm not taking the bait and swimming on by ????  

    Stay safe everyone and if it's really bad don't go out unless you have to xx

    Morning all. OH repairing yet another fence panel. And I thought all That wind was just verd.... Ok ok not been around often enough for that kind of talk...I'll get my coat. The last panel that came down I had started growing climbers on to try and strengthen or buffer against the wind. They were ripped off, not sure if due to wind damage or repair / replacement process. Winter jasmine also stripped.bare when we had Somme windows done, so no pretty yellow stars on my wall either. Please insert smileys as appropriate.

    clary I didn't see the article, was it in the star?

    Lily, sorry to hear you are injured.

    p doc. Sorry to hear your constant problems with garden weatheer but keep enjoying where you are, sounds a fab spot.

    Back to the fence, we have about 20. Panels. Keep trying to persuade OH to get ones with gaps so they are more wind friendly.0r try climbers again. Might start new thread for advice if ever I get more time!

    jeepers, gotta sign in now to post, different phone but that's another story...

    Cant believe those winds last night! Really scary and bet nothing compared to what you others experience, I really hope you are all ok

    Still very windy today so guess just more packing for me!

    Loved all your pics and can't believe how blooming young you all are! Just goes to show how I conjured you all up in my mind image

    How are you today Lily? Hope you haven't damaged anything? Please post soon so we know x

    Ps lovely to see you home Sunflower Lady! We missed you image

  • Morning all.

    Only woke up about 20mins ago. Sure nothing broken, just very achy. Right shoulder, arm and hand hurt, but sure its just jarring where I tried to stop smashing my face on the pavement. Thumb I think sprained but otherwise ok. Thank you all so much, very kind. Did feel a bit of a **** when I did it, 2 very nice girls picked me up too bless them. 

    Chicky hugs hope you're ok, shakes you up seeing things like that, doesn't it.

    Hope everyone ok re wind image

    Have a good day everyone, see you later, off for another soak.
