Everyone weathered the storms?

[port perran]

It was certainly very,very wild down here last night .I'm just glad we have so few rivers because if we did the flooding in Cornwall would be absolutely horrendous.
Porthleven has had the huge wooden barrier that protects the inner harbour smashed to pieces leaving at least 6 boats sunk and many more seriously damaged.  Well over 600 tress down throughout Cornwall !

And yes, what a brilliant idea to close the "alternative" rail route into Cornwall. Very forward thinking !
Back in the day GWR used to regularly traverse the Southern route (and vice versa) for routr training/route knowledge to cover just the sort of disaster that has just befallen the Dawlish route.

Hope everyone is ok over there.....saw the storms when I looked at the news this morning. We got about a foot of snow here today but nothing the snowblower won't handle.....

Again hope you are all safe......Croxy.

  time to break out the wellies here in my part of sunny Hampshire.
A strange new wake up sensation here for the last few weeks has been ..wake (partially), listen (intently) then try and work out whether the traffic is going through the village normally or kicking up a *ell of a spray as it hits the flooded road outside our place.
Today is mega spray morning

Quite.  Floods or no floods, there's only so much 'up periscope' you can get away with

Storms ? There's nae storms in Jockshire , just normal weather ! We live on a diet of whisky , porridge and
Mars Bars that makes us so tough we think Bruce Willis is a ballet dancer.

£420 later I still have leaks in the flat roof (I HATE flat roofs!). No chance to try and fix it till all of this is over.

We suffered the flat roof leaking syndrome for about 20 years  In the end we `bit the bullet` and had the flat bits re-timbered and covered with a 4mm? sheet of lead.
It cost an arm and a leg but is virtually out of sight to all lead nickers and we have never had any problems  during the last 10+ years

My partner lives on top of a hill outside Bury & I live on top of a ridge just south of Warrington . So if either of us get flooded out , it's already curtains for the rest of the UK !! Mind you , there's been plenty of wind......and then there's the weather to consider . Ric

[EtchedPixels]

Rather windy at the moment, think I may be inspecting the roof tomorrow (says 59mph sustained/77mph peak for the local weather station)

Must say it doesn't look or sound very pretty here at the moment.

If you stop singing whilst looking in the mirror, that might help         

cheers John.
