What weather we are having!!

16 comments


Yesterday was atrocious….we had gale force winds, and rain, well I say rain more like a tempest, have never seen anything like it in the eleven years we have been living here, my delivery man could not get out of his van because he could not see my house which was literally right in front of him!! garden walls have been knocked down on the sea front, but our little garden weathered the storm, then the sun came out, we had a rainbow, and all was forgotten.
How did you weather the storm?


Garden after the tempest….

Hi Dotty ..

Lovely rainbow :o)

I'm pleased your garden seems fine after the storms.
It was very wet and windy all around my gardens, but only one shrub in a pot was blown over, because I have most them in sheltered places for the winter. No harm was done to the shrub and that is now in a safe place.

I feel sorry for those with damage to houses, fences etc.
I was worried about my trellises etc. but everything held on .. thankfully !

Stay safe and warm everyone !

Wasn't it awful weather in the morning, Dotty? ... I stayed in and did lots of ironing ... kept looking out to see twigs from neighbour's Beech tree flying across our garden ... and that rain blocked the view at times ... let's hope it doesn't return! ... Are you used to the new view now ... without the tall hedge! ... :o)

Lovely rainbow photo, DD2. We had the same heavy rain/winds here over the last couple of days and nights and my garden looks very forlorn and very, very waterlogged. Never mind, I have learnt that come Spring all will be well :)

It is calm here at present........

The awful weather seemed to be right across the country, we were in south Scotland and drove home down the M6.... bit scary, especially at the services I nearly got blown over....

What a beautiful sight Dd. We are still experiencing high winds here in the south, we lost tiles off our roof yesterday so thats another job that needs doing! It is very wild tonight.

That's a beautiful picture - everything looks so calm and serene :)
Some damage here but nothing that can't be fixed. One of my shed's is in my neighbours garden and it took the fence with it!! Was out working in the pouring rain today trying to get on top of things - 2 hours soaked through and the wind and rain started again! I gave up and went indoors. I'll try again tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing your lovely sunny picture :)

Thanks for asking DD....yes - shed is now moved to a better position. My son brought round a couple of his mates this morning and moved it for me. Actually - the wind done me a favour it looks better up in the side garden by the fence :)
