You're absolutely right. On days like this it's incredibly bleak. Every slate on the roof sounds like it's about to rip off.
I've moved the car well away from the house. Learned my lesson from the big storm in 1987 when thousands of cars got damaged.

That looks brilliant.
...bbc1 has now gone off air, but I've still got birds in the garden pecking at my string of nuts. Well 'ard.

Lost a couple of roof tiles so far and rain just arrived here in Norfolk. Probably give taking the dog to the beach a miss today.

Gave me a chance to check the barometric device on my tablet which seems to be tracking the low pressure storm pretty well - thought my tea was a little bit cooler as water is boiling at 99 degrees at the moment.

Welcome to it :)
They can have the sprout picking too. Wretched job. Used to work with the Johns and Johnson families doing that. Right up there with a spell at Kanes the old beetroot factory when it was in Evesham

Kane's have a salad-bagging plant at Middle Littleton now - they own a vast amount of property in Evesham to let to their workers (majority Eastern European), and run free buses to the plant. Big, big cooperative.

Just walking out in the fields beyond Massey Ferguson’s, as was, and saw some power lines blown down a few hundred yards in front of me. I actually thought it was fireworks at first; it was very impressive, just like the movies.

Had I been a bit closer it could’ve been interesting - I’d have thought they’d have tripped out as soon as they hit the ground, but judging by the giant blue sparks they were firing off they were still live. I resisted the urge to put my tongue on them to check. :)

Also, lots of alarms suddenly going off in the nearby estate so there might be a few people eating their Sunday dinner by candlelight later.

Yep. Behind the old Perrets site. Worked at Perrets when they built the first one. My old man had a bad accident there. Took some engineering bod up to the roof to show there was a building defect. Ceiling collapsed and they both fell through. In hospital for months.

I'm only 20 miles from you Houch, but it's like some kind of movie (trying to think of another analogy)! It's very wet and extremely windy, let's put it like that!

Just had an almighty rush of wind and rain. Was that it? All gone now.

That the Beacon? Love that part of the world. Had an aunt in Malvern Wells. Spent a lot of time walking the hills as a kid. British camp, the old quarry, holy well were old favourites.

I live right at the base of the hills. Graham Rd, Malvern, if you know it.
