hi guys well this weather is getting pretty bad here in blackpool, but at least we dont have floods here, our problem is high winds,didnt think it was to bad till i woke up this morning,
went out into the garden to feed my feathered friends as usual, it was a bit blowy and wet out there but not to bad,
being half asleep didnt notice anything at first, came in and remembered i had some washing in my tumble dryer which is in the garage so back out again to do that, then as i was coming back out of the garage notice this :o(


grr couldnt believe it when i saw the mess, my lovely fence broken also the next panel had lost a few slats to


so there`s another job for my poor baz, working 7 days a week at the moment so dont know when this will get fixed, its dark when he gets home so looks like i will have to be patient, not one of my best features being a woman lol
well at least the birds were happy, they got fed,


so the question is have you had any damage to your gardens yet guys? hope not, have a good day :o))

Oh Dear Sandra I clicked the 'Like this blog' by mistake. sorry.

23 Nov, 2009

 

lol bob, its ok done that myself at times, be glad when its fixed, i hate it when something is damaged and cant fix it myself,, so will have to just be patient till baz gets time.

23 Nov, 2009

 

Poor you - I do sympathise.

Louise has just told you what it's like here. The stream is on its way up - but I can't complain when you read about all the poor people in Cumbria, can I? What's a bit of garden under water compared with them?

23 Nov, 2009

 

so far so good at my end. pity about your fence sanbaz, but I would wait until the winds drop or you may end up having to do it all again.

the big beech tree is dropping small branches but nothing serious. and at least we have not had to face the floods. back in 07 hull and the surrounding areas suffered really badly so i can empathise with the people up north.

Sorry about your fence Sandra. I agree with Sea-b. Don’t fix it yet. Although we have had several near-gale-force winds lately ( a very strong one last night) we have been fortunate and have suffered no damage - except to the cat's pride when she was blown yards away when jumping off the shed roof! Mee-aaaaaaaaow. And, like yourself, I have had to retrieve a bird-feeder. Big deal! My thoughts are with those who have suffered so much from the flooding. That's one of Natures worst visitations If you’re looking in, Indy – has your flood subsided?
What is it you are feeding the Goldfinch with Sandra? Mine only seem to come in for Niger Seed.

Lovely picture of the birds feeding its a pain in the a.se when this happens with fences, especially surprised it has gone as it is stated like what they put up in Yorkshire Bradford so as the wind can go through, as no fence that is nt slatted stays up for the gales they have there.

23 Nov, 2009

 

Sorry to hear about your fence San, its been windy here but think we are more sheltered than you as surrounded by hills which do help! but like everyone really fed up with all the rain, but guess shouldnt grumble when you hear of the conditions in Lakes, Simon is susposed to be going this weekend but doesnt look promising.

23 Nov, 2009

 

your right barbara we dont have anything to complain about compared to those poor people :o(
glad you dont have any probs where you are sea.. :o)
thanx ponty, baz will do the fence when it calms down, it was getting a bit weak in places so guess it had to happen one day, i feed them sunflower hearts and fich feed, couldnt help a little laugh when i read about your cat lol,, sorry, bet that gave him a lift heheh
thanx morgana not seen much of the goldfinch lately though, lovely birds, normally slated is best just getting a bit weak in parts, like us all lol

Well I am not have you seen what they are purposeing to do with the elderly and disabled no money for care if you can't dress yourself with arthritis they will not be paying out for care 25.000 you will have to have before and after death to pay for your own care, and they pupose to stop paying all care allowance and disabled money all carers will have to go and find another job. No matter which party gets in this is with in 2 yrs as no other party is contesting it. Some thing for you to read about when you get older. http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/disability-living-allowance-(dla)/dla-aa-cuts/dla-threat-faq

Batton down the hatches lol - - Not funny really though.

24 Nov, 2009

 

lol hywel ;o))

24 Nov, 2009

 

fingers crossed Sandra, no actual damage as yet. Two years ago we lost the entire back end of our fence panels and when Jim replaced them he put extra supports in, hopefully they`ll stay put this year. I`m glad you haven`t been hit by the floods.

Sandra x

i cant believe half of this panel is still standing, must do something with that at weekend as my clematis is attached to it :o(,
sandra im glad we havent had flooding to, must be the worse thing to happen,
