Sorry to hear you guys in UK are experiencing such bad storms. I hope everyone survives including your gardens. We are quite calm in Hungary at the moment, although a mini hurricane did come through a week ago. Millions of forints worth of damage happened around the country. We were driving home from Romania and experienced dangerous cross winds on the mororway, but we were fine and our garden suffered no damage either, just lots of small branches all over the place.

Yes all cheered up now Majeekahead your photos are lovely

VERY cheerful... It reinforces the fact that spring is on it's way. ENJOY !

No damage here thankfully. Woke up at 3:30 this morning and realised I'd put a cloche out on a vegetable bed a few days ago so pulled on a pair of jeans and a jumper and rushed outside, just in time to stop it blowing into next door's garden!

well i'm glad that everyone seems to getting through it without garden damage - touch wood we seem to have excaped it too! well with the exception of one broken terricotta pot! was a bit worried about my greenhouse as the roof blew off in the last storm, but we managed to fix it and sercure it a bit better for this one and so far seems to be holding.

Hi yes i know how your feeling,im also in essex,and the wind is still very strong,allthough haven't got any damage yet,but there is still tonight to get through................

I was pleasantly surprised to find very little damage in the garden, the greenhouse lost a pane and the dovecot door was hanging by one hinge. I expected to find fencing panels down too, a couple are a bit wobbly but they must have been sheltered by the house walls.
The winds are forecast to be even stronger midweek so a 'secure it' tour of the gardens is called for.

We've been very lucky down here in Somerset - a tree in the farm next door has fallen - against our wall and just missed the adjacent fence by a few inches! We have lots of bits of Ash tree all over the place but not major branches. The village was cut off again due to lanes flooding, and the stream came up to within an inch of the arch of the bridge in our garden. A few plants and shrubs have had pieces torn off and one of my watering cans went flying over the fence - all minor, but the wind's howling outside as I am writing this. 3' thick walls have their uses at times like this! Good luck to everyone for the rest of the week.
