Storm Amy

Stugeron makes travel possible for me.

OMG! My idea of hell, you poor things. What medication stopped you being seasick, please? I can’t find one that works.

Have you tried Stugeron? It worked well for my friend on a sea cruise.

Funnily enough, I have just tried it and it works! Yay! I am not at the moment travelling across the channel, but when I do, I shall use it. I need travel pills even on a half hour journey, I am that bad!
Many thanks!

Found the gate key! It was exactly where I expected but we had cleared the leaves and raked the gravel, no where to be found. Then yesterday it was just lying there.

I purchased it at a French pharmacy.
It’s called RCalm.
It’s active ingredient is dymenhydrinate.

Sorry for late reply. Thank you for the info. Unfortunately, I don’t get to France now but years ago, I went regularly because part of my job was to oversee our French office there. I bought quite a few medications over there, one of which was called ‘Expace’, (later renamed as ‘Vipace’). It was the only thing that actually cleared up cold sores quickly. Sadly, it doesn’t appear to be available now (family visiting France have searched for it), which is a pain. It would clear the sores in three days as opposed to the usual 8-10. Nothing here gives the same result.

J heard that Amy was on its way. Although the wind increased but where I live where was this hurricane Amy!

There has been huge damage in the West of Norway, buildings taken down, and ships being blown away from their moorings, so I think that you had a narrow escape, Sago.
People qualified to work at height will be very busy with trees for quite some time to come.
Christmas lights in towns will be a little later this year...

I feel lucky in N Cambs. We seem to get weather coming down to S Lincs (esp. snow) or up to Cambridge, and we are the sunny dry and better in the gap in the middle.

I did get a heavy rain (for herre) and lose a rather worn garden screen, but it is 30+ years' old, and we had a few trees on the road down, but much discussion about lack of council maintenance. I have a line full of washing out in the sun, with a light wind today.

Best wishes to all

In the south of Denmark the storm was a great deal less ferocious than we had been warned to expect.

I did however see one tree that had blown down when I cycled to Mass yesterday, but otherwise there has been no damage.

I do wish meterologists would drop this "cute" habit of giving storms human names, or any other kind of name. I find it intensly irritating.

Areas that were badly affected can just as well remember this storm as the storm of October 5th 2025 as as Amy.

Now into second day of clear up. Neighbour is currently on our roof fixing the ridge tiles - he's a diamond.

It's a glorious day today, the calm after the storm!
Blue skies, no wind - just when the children are back to school.

We were in the middle of the north season the Rotterdam to Hull ferry.

We avoided 🤮with very good medication.

It wasn’t for the faint hearted!

What is annoying us the most at the moment is that the side gate slammed and the key has fallen out into a huge pile of leaves and we can't find it.

Tried to post a photo but not working - are we banned from posting photos again?

My entire patio is covered in a thick layer of cider apples, tomorrow will be hard work clearing them all up, but the wind has dropped to normal here in Wales now.

When life gives you cider apples, do you make cider?

There was a tree down on the motorway, no injuries and it wasn't right across the carriageway.

The wind is just as strong as yesterday here in the north east of Scotland but no rain. Over night we can see the field through the trees behind us as so many have lost their leaves.

Still 50mph here but so far no more damage and no power cuts. Think clearing up will have to wait until Monday don’t want a branch hitting me (husband not me as I have a slipped disc), some of the branches are buried inches into the ground.

It’s always a relief when our trees still have all their branches
Blown down a lot of chestnuts which are worth the picking this year

I watched my recycling bins fly up the road.
A guy walking past rescued them and weighted them down with bricks .
I had trouble getting home from church flower arranging today (no buses again )and had to walk under some magnificent trees .
I thought that their huge branches could fall on me.

This afternoon in East Kent, the harbour is like a millpond and the sky is blue! Still windy but no more rain 🤞

East Anglia just windy some off and on rain nothing particularly out of the ordinary everyone still going about their business
Nothing big here and supposed to be passed by tomorrow anyway

The rain has eased off for now here, but it’s still quite windy. We’ve had some heavy downpours throughout the day and the strong breeze made the 14 degree C temperature feel much cooler.

Wind died down a bit but it’s started to drizzle.
