Good call, just remembered I've still got some beers sitting on the back door step to keep them cool.
Better get them back inside and batten down the hatches for later.

Blowing a hooley here - it’s coming up the Channel off the Atlantic. Lights have flickered a fair bit - we lost power NYE/NYD from just before midnight to 5am.

May well happen again

Just south of you of course - my Aunt and Uncle are out at Tile Barn on the Andover Road.

Loads of trees - always worry about them - will probably pop up to see them soon as whatever has happened - they are always “alright” as they don’t want to bother us.
