Throwing it down here. As many things as possible are tied up, and I hope that my iris survive - they're just coming into flower. Doubt that the columbines will
Teesside early was calm now we have rain and a slight breeze. I cannot see across the valley as I cannot see the valley, probably about a furlong across the fields. Not much good for Blaydon Races tomorrow then.
What a night! Hard to sleep with gales blowing and rain being hurled against the window. It's calmed down somewhat (!) and is just blowing quite strongly now and raining just a bit.
One of my beutiful lupins succombed to the weather and had bowed to the inevitable, I've staked it - but of course it's never going to look as magnificent as it did. Own fault - I did tie up and stake lots of things, but mistakenly thought it would be ok.
The last blooms of the aquilegias have been blown away, and a couple of roses have been beheaded by the gales. But overall, we survived!
just started raining here in liverpool, but it never stopped all day yesterday, put my toms out about 4 day ago, hope they will be alright, i have moved them against the wall to give them a bit of protection, luckily we have not had the wind as bad as some other parts of the country
I seem to have escaped the worst of the weather today but have had some horrendous showers but not the strong winds this time the sun at the moment is trying to burn through the clouds but won't hold my breath, I shall wait and see what tomorrow brings.
We had a sunset last night "Rain" on our side of the Tees, a bit watery but still better than nothing. This morning at 06:00 it was black as night although it improved by the time I went out just after nine, the sun is trying to shine on me as I write though it is cloudy, I can see across the valley today and it looks fairly clear. Blaydon Races today, hope it keeps fine for all those girls in their finery. Must attack those side shoots on the Toms again, they are growing faster than the main stalk.

Not quite as windy here just yet but the hatches are batoned down in readyness and it's been raining heavily.
The torch come's through town at the top of our road on 22nd, I wonder if the flame will go out in the rain!
Extremely windy in Kent, oh yeah and wet too.

Good luck with everyone else's gardens, too.
