Formby, 1/2 mile in from the coast and the wind is picking up. Next door neighbour has knocked, her gate has blown off and she cannot find the dog. I've gone out and found one of my trees happily bouncing around at 45 degrees in 60+ mph winds. I've re-strapped it to the post and when I turn around I hear a crack as the post snaps. I've now got webbing straps around the tree across the garden and around the fence to hold it upright.
No fence panels down or bins blown into the street yet, but I know the X-Mas tree in the high street is down, and across the roundabout.
I don't think we'll have the bedroom window open tonight. wonder what the morning will bring.

Update, next doors shed roof has lost it's felt and is now hanging over my fence, our garden table cover has decided to take a holiday in direction of next door, one of the garden gnomes has decided to have a lie down and we have a very confused hedgehog wandering around the front garden. Oh TV reception is terrible.

You are very brave Reba. Some may use another description though.

I cannot moan John. The old boy next door has lost a couple of ridge tiles and his aerial is pointing in a strange direction. Strange thig is no plant pots etc have moved.

I think she got it back, or at least I'm assuming so. I'm not really interested in the 4 legged poo machines, I think because of having to clear up after my mothers smelly dog.

Under normal circumstances I would totally agree, there is however "history" between us and the lady. In fact there is "history" between her and most of the street.
