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.

I have seen pictures of farmers with their pregnant ewes basically on an island - it is not going to be a good lambing season for them.

We are just praying we do not get a repeat of last year's March snowfall; the final toll was 'over 10% of the island's sheep lost' - about 15,000. Yes - the sheep do outnumber people by about 2:1!

I really do hope that you have dry weather and drier land by the start of lambing.

Thanks, things do look to be calming down next week.

That's a dreadful tally of lost sheep and a terrible blow to your farmers. Fingers crossed for a better spring everywhere this year.
