Just hunkering down for the evening here - wind has been building here all day. Bought 10 litres of fuel for the chainsaw this morning, and dropped a suspect looking tree that would have taken out our oil tank if it had fallen the way the wind is blowing.
I'm expecting no power or phone line in the morning - we live at the end of a mile-long lane with trees the whole way - if the power lines survive I'll be amazed! I've also parked the 110 in the middle of the field away from the trees... My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk 110 TD5 BuildHERE - sold! 110 Tdci Build HERE - sold! Passat Alltrack - 4x4, auto, 45mpg, gloriously comfortable - but not a Defender! |

What is it we're supposed to be doing with a storm approaching? It's been on the news all day, despite the fact nothing has happened yet. They're not saying what to do, just that we're all doomed and shouldn't travel unless you need to tomorrow. WTF is that supposed to mean, cancel your casual stroll through the park?

According to the Met Office, BBC and all the rest, South Somerset is doomed
Just stuck my head out of the door, no hint of a breeze and light rain. In fact the strength of the wind has been non existent since about 4pm. Time will tell.

I see it two ways, it'll either be awful perhaps worse than they say or more probable sod all happen. No Guts, No Glory.
