To Whom It May Concern re; Weather.

Severe Storm Force 11 once every 2 or 3 years can be quite exciting. But for the 3rd...4th...5th time in one winter? It is getting boring now.



Yes - we have force 11 again, gusts of 80mph+, things blowing around in the garden, in the street, and so on. Boat and flights cancelled, trees down, roads flooded...

Hard to remember that beautiful day on Monday, now.

Hate to tell you I am sitting here in a tee shirt in 70degree weather, blue skies, fluffy clouds and that funny, big yellow thing in the sky!

That is our mid-summer!

Fortunately we cope well with the amount of flooding we get - roads closed for flooding this afternoon will be open tomorrow. It is the wind damage that is our biggest problem, and the lack of transport on & off island. But we can feed ourselves pretty well for a few days too.

So much wet weather means that the earth is too soft to hold some of the trees any more, and they are getting too easily blown over.

And yes, thank you, my brother-in-law and his friend put up the new shed - and when I spoke to her a couple of hours ago it was standing up to the weather OK.
