As forecast, the gales have arrived here Lanarkshire too !! :( Its gonna be a heck of a night by the sounds of things. Hope there is not too much damage ! And also hope your fence survives !!
Oh and joy o joy, the rain is lashing down too !!
Lovely sunny day today at the allotment and not too cold. That is Enfield which is north London. Another load of compost arrived from the Council, so got one wheelbarrow of it, and then did a bit of weeding, tidying up and a bit of talking (actually a lot of talking). Planted some hyacinth bulbs and daffodil bulbs that were Xmas presents that had died down, hopefully they will come up on the allotment next year. As I was digging/weeding dug up a few bulbs that I had forgotten about but re-planted them. Can't wait for Spring/summer.
Gale force winds here in Ceredigion tonight .There will be plenty of seaweed on the beach tomorrow!
listening to the shipping forcast heard words like huricane like and cyclonic all very scary its cold wet and windy here but nothing 2 bad - YET!
Not far from Borlotti, about the same during the afternoon - but
wind getting up now, had rain but seems to be passing.
In Southeast so think we might miss it - good luck with all your fencing
and sheds etc - do hope you don't suffer any damage.

It has just started raining hard here now... (Shipping Forecast is Gales except in Trafalgar!) :o
Was lovely all day in N Yorkshire, no wind at all really. Its starting to blow hard now tho... I yhope my tiles last...
I hope your fence lasts KT Lawson, esp after all your hard work... I am so glad I have a hedge now and not a fence, I used to dread gales in my last house.
Wet and wild in Meriden.just got back with the dogs.
When I opened the front door and they saw the weather they were reluctant to go,they are lovers of the warm fireside :)
Good here, dare I say springlike, but it is forcast to get a bit blowy later. Next Tuesday looks like a white out. I might have put the long johns away a bit early ;D
I have just had a look out from the back Porch and its horizontal rain and definately a gale.
Started wet and windy, then lovely blue sky all day, and now it is blowing a gale and the rain is lashing at the windows. And there was me planning to clean out the pond tomorrow!
A wild night here in Sussex - looking at the bird feeders from the window and the occasional horizontal position being adopted :o, aerial seems to be joining in as the TV signal is very snowy, but we need the rain, we really do!!!
Stormy here on the east coast ;)
Went up the Lotty for a couple of hours this morning and it was one of those lovely sunny but cool spring mornings. (we are in Durham) I saw the forecast last night so spent most of my time tidying up anything that might blow away. Around tee time we got a moderate wind and a bit of rain but its calm and dry now :D
Went to work about 4pm and it wasn't bad at all, quite warm and not windy. Got home at 11.30 pm to tbe told my greenhouse had blown down, and a panel was missing etc. all my plants and seedlings all over the place. Am devastated to say the least. Could have been worse at least someone was home to try and stop the lot blowing away.

Sorry to here about your greenhouse Lou.

Not as bad as I had expected. Lost a few pots of broad beans as they were trampled over when OH was trying to save greenhouse. Will just have to start some more. Found all the missing panels in the neighbour's garden.
Hope you got it sorted Lottie lou :)
Heck Lou, what bad luck. Hope you can get it fixed.
