Survived the night...... .... and actually slept like a baby when I managed to fall asleep

Trees are still standing but lots of stuff has been blown away in the garden....

What's kinda weird is that the sun is shining and the birds singing..... If you can "forget" about the wind, its really a lovely day out there....

lol yes very true but i've just been out to see if i can "save the panel"
and winds nearly blown me over on top of it felt a right fool!

me in my dressing gown in the wind holding this bloody great panel and nearly going flat on my face! (we live on main road pmsl )

so i think i'll wait till winds died down a bit

storms gone to sleep now lol so everyone be REALLY quiet!

They are busier than they have ever been

Borrowed a large generator from someone, so beer is now cold

Shitloads of candles and they have a large gas tank for heating so its not too bad now


all the locals are going to the pub because nobody else has electrics yet.


mad shit
