One of our three bins has gone over, green waste thankfully, didn't spill.

Storm, what storm?

Been a touch breezy and a lot of rain.

Roof is still in place as is the garden fence.

Buckets are unmoved.

Checking out the sunscreen just in case

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ohh, and a fence panel has cracked

[petercooman]

Just went out and secured the usual culprits. Trampoline, garden furniture and the little one's slide. Luckily i have a BIG supply of concrete 60 x 60 paving slabs. I removed them when i bought the house, but put them to the side. Very handy for putting on things and keep them down!

The worst of ciara is supposed to hit Belgium this evening so fingers crossed!

[toxicpixie]

I think the worst just blew past here. Outside was not so much a shower as a bath...

Popped a fence panel -  of one of the usual suspects, oddly, but I'll have to get the neighbour involved to pop it back in. Assuming it hasn't exploded...

[sunjester]

Our garden is OK, other than a few pots blown over, but the whole fence is down (and shattered) next door but one. Fortunately our neighbour's landlord finally got around to replacing the rotten fence post on the fence next to us in the summer - it had been rocking around quite dramatically last winter.

Another neighbours fence panel gone. It's just been pouting down and the winds have been gusting like nobody's business, followed by sudden lulls. It's started to swing round now so other parts of the garden will take a beating .

[Techno]

Wind's just started to pick up again...having been through a relatively quiet period for two or three hours

Haven't seen anything like the amount of rain other parts of the UK have had.

Hi

Just had an e-mail from my son's teacher to say no school (near Radstock, Somerset) tomorrow as the roof has blown off (partially at least)!

Just wondering if I can entice him into a Napoleonic game set in Germany, that will cover missing History, French and Geography, and if I can get Congreve's rockets in there as well that will be Science. Just need to figure out Philosophy and Belief........ :-

Cheers Paul

Philosophy - a well read officer (hah! They'd be in commerce, the church or government if they were well read, I know ) would have a passing knowledge of the classics, at least. Easy!

Seen the sad news on the IWM hangar at Duxford? Roof's coming off, there's a nine mile closure on the M11 it's so big. The Vulcans there, and Concorde, and... :S

[Steve J]

Hadn't heard the news about the IWM Duxford. It's getting very windy again after a relatively quiet spell. I don't think we'll get much sleep tonight as it's pounding on the windows as I type.

Sadly ironic. Most of the contents have been tested in wind tunnels but not the hangar itself ... (?) 

Hope the damage to any of the planes is kept to an absolute minimum. Really enjoyed my trip there last summer.

[toxicpixie]

I've not been, though it's not far up from some of the in laws. Mind I haven't been to RAF Cosford for donkeys and that's just up the road!

Hopefully nothing too delicate and irreplaceable gets exposed and hammered...

[Steve J]

Well I missed the squalls that kept hitting our bedroom window during the night and got into work dry, which is always a bonus. Not as bad on the wind front as I feared and hope to get a nice tail wind home tonight.

[toxicpixie]

Quiet as, on the weather front here... fence fixing time at lunch, I guess!
