I now have more Oak and Beech rings than I have space for – time for another new wood store

Wood stores are a bit like the ideal number of bikes. n + 1.
You can never have too many.

The windows of the my neighbours got smashed by pebbles being picked up off the beach and flung into them .
One house abit further along had 10 smashed windows , it was like a Schwartzneger filmset .
The joys of living a ‘stones throw’ from the sea i guess .
My neighbour reckoned for about a minute it blew a mini tornado as the air was filled with very fast moving fog / water vapour .
My roof tiles were lifted and will need reseating at some point .

Where was that?

The beautiful sub tropical Island of Hayling
Portsmouth , Hampshire.

That is to say every few thousand years, most if not all of the ancient cultures have legends of world storms and massive flooding

Yes but they knew f all about weather forecasting.

A bit like us now then, this is normaly winter time 😉

There was some amazing footage on the 6 o’clock news of a bridge flexing and twisting in the wind, and one of those big wheeled plastic dumpsters on its side being blown along a city street at around 20mph. A bloody scary thing to have come carreering towards you totally out of control.
