It's been a bit wild down here. One of the club yachts broke off its mooring and ended up banging against the sea wall at the top of the harbour along the A27. That's the second one in a couple of weeks. Not as bad as the '87 hurricane though. There were about a dozen then. One of them, a 27 footer was washed right up on to grass bank at the top of the sea wall then.

After the windy night ,I found our bucket I use when rinsing the van off on site after a mucky journey, four pitches away under a bush
When on my way to wash up last night after dark I counted 9 aircraft overhead all heading for or taking off from the four airfields that flight paths take them over our area, what pollution? plus the international space station passing over

We are having it good here in South Yorks at the moment. Yesterday was a very nice day, today is more overcast but at least it’s dry.
Big day for me today. I have surrendered re the heavy garden work, and booked my Mum’s garden team to come and sort out my wild patch. It was just getting wilder, so had to do something. They are unearthing all sorts of treasures, so I can enjoy the “nice” gardening tasks, rather than trying to tackle the heavy duty stuff. Back tomorrow to take our old hedges down to a more manageable 6ft rather than the current 8ft😱 Then there are just the beech trees to get sorted......lots and lots of firewood for next Winter👏👏
Hope those not to well, awaiting appointments etc pick up and go ok. My OH had a scan a couple of days ago, purely routine, so fingers crossed all remains well🤞

I don't think I'd manage our garden without some help TDA so it seems to work out well for us. The person who helps likes doing things I don't like. OH just ploughs on with his stuff and it seems to keep things going. Got a new tree arriving soon so that's a job OH will like (whilst groaning about "not another tree.") Hope you get yours organised so you can enjoy it more.
Terrible weather, hospital this morning for OH, ok for the next 12 months. Lots of flood water round here, roads closed etc.

I shall be passing through Ulverston on Saturday Brian and will twiddle my tie in salute.
Picked the caravan up from the dealers and headed to Grange-over-Sands site before the gales and rain struck. Managed to get set up and 5 minutes after sitting down to lunch the heavens opened. Had to visit Booths for food as we didn't have room in the car for any. Considerably poorer but did enjoy the Chilli from the butchers counter.
Hope all scans are clear.
Off to Leighton Moss RSPB tomorrow.

WARE -- WEATHER WARNING !!
After a visit to Aged Sister ( and a short sharp disagreement with an HGV delivery driver ) I settled down to watch a frame or three of snooker, when I saw something whizzing past my windows. T'was SNOW blowing past just before the rain showers came. It has been forecast but I really did not want to see it !!
So any of you out travelling, enjoying yourselves or even gardening up this way -- Get those thermals aired & warmed and those waterproofs rechecked like wot I'm agoing to have to do
