Good morning!

We’ve woken to a sunny, calm morning after such a wild day yesterday. There were many warnings of the severity of storm Eunice and it seems most people heeded them, with schools, shops, libraries etc all closed for the day. Travel was badly affected with trees falling almost everywhere – even here in our little seaside town. Thankfully flooding didn’t occur here as far as I’m aware. We sat and listened to the gusts of wind across the chimney pots and watched some fence panels collapse into our garden. That was the worst damage we saw here but noticed the street lights were off when it got dark. I’d checked that the gas cooker would light with a match if we lost power, then made tomato soup….what else to do? Cuddle the cats, check on our family from time to time, looking at their pictures – garden damage mostly. Hopefully you and your families are all ok, but can get help quickly if it’s needed. Stay safe x
