powler Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 A bit windy in Herefordshire but nothing to worry about atm, would like to get out and have a walk but my calf muscle popped so resting today. Oh the little potted bay tree blew over, now rescued. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 It's wet and a bit blowy but definitely not worth all the drama. I was out at the sheep at 11pm last night and shut the top doors on the ewes and lambs because it was blowing in and back there at 5am and everyone was warm and dry.

Scully Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 We had planned to shoot at Mattys at Southwaite today but he cancelled earlier this week, so considered Westlands if the weather was suitable. It isn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taileron Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Its pretty rough here in the midlands. Me and the kids were just watching the national grid chaps cut up a massive tree thats just smashed down onto the main road taking the power supply with it. Most of next doors garden is now in mine, but we are now cooking marshmallows on the open fire and playing board games. Quite nice really.

Oh the little potted bay tree blew over, now rescued. Mick OUCH!!!! Keep that muscle wrapped up tight. Done both of mine and it is painful. Had some treatment on the first by a sports therapist and it helped heal it very quickly....well two weeks I walked with a stick onto a plane for the USA. Second one I treated myself and it healed well but my foot went black with the bruising . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 There's a big dead ash tree down my lane in hoping will blow down so I can have it for firewood. No sign of movement yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast from the east was 2018, ripped out a lot of kelp beds round here but they are on the mend so I hope we don't get such a savage beating.

VicW Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 We are experiencing very strong winds here in Lincolnshire (18 miles south of Lincoln) and coupled with heavy rain the squall we have just had was just like thick smoke blowing sideways. It was so bad the few cars about were almost at a standstill. Our front garden fence has been badly damaged, I was hoping to get another few months out of it. Vic.

mel b3 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Worst driving conditions I've ever known on m54 near Telford, the wind was pushing water from the open fields like breakers on a beach , I've never seen anything like it , sitting in blazing sunshine now in Wrexham , and not really looking forward to the drive home.
