oh làlàstrong gales here, neighbour's chimney is about to fall off, and we had no electricity until right now- had to spend morning securing stuff in garden - so hope the beehive won't be blown off the table- we have put 2 heavy pots against it.
Not going out to the shops in France - broken trees and flying debris all over the place.

Good morning from a wild and windy Somerset.
A disturbed night, lying awake from 4 till about 5 was not helped by our private Storm (hurricane) DGD(3) shouting the odds first thing.
“When she is good, she is very very good
But she has clearly learned the rest of the rhyme!”
Driving over to Shaftesbury on my way home to visit a friend I have known since our days in London 30+ years ago and who also lost her H a few weeks before Christmas.
Taking flowers and wine - I think the latter may come in useful 
Home tomorrow to collect my lovely Hattie , I hope she hasn’t given up on me.
Morning all.
North Leicestershire is windy but I think the rain has stopped!!
We had 2 Dgd over night (but they are the quiet type who read a lot!) DH is about to go and collect Bertie and Persie to add to the mix. 
As we are both still suffering from the post viral tiredness, reinforcements would be welcome!
Enjoy your day Kate, Mary, I hope you make it to the other end of the day! gaga, that's an honour, I am in awe of people who can do sing.
Good Morning Mick and everyone.
Too dark to see what weather is, if we had the storm I wouldn't have heard it as I take my bionic ears out at night 
It is Mums birthday today, she is 88! So taking her out to lunch with my Brother and his wife, then a little tootle round a garden centre. Hopeful weather will be more settled by then
Have a good day everyone.
Good Morning Mick, Mary and everyone from a south coast recovering from a mega-storm overnight. I think the howling wind sounded much worse because it was dark! Not sure giving winter storms a name is much use - who thought that was a good idea and why?
Choir re-starts tonight and we will be working on new items as we head towards our next concert in May. Our MD asked me if I would sing a solo next time but I can't think why!
Hope the day is a good one for all GNs
