Beautiful warm breezy and sunny day here in Cambs
Just mowed the lawn and garden, and did a garage, shed re-org to create little space to put the Caterham in for the winter
Looking forward to a v early o'clock drive to Sheffield tomorrow, should be fun

So it seems once again the weather forecasters got it wrong. Still it's funny watching the media clammering for some death and destruction and finding little to none. They love nothing more than a natural disaster bringing misery and sorrow to a nation especially if that nation is Britain. I am constantly surprised they don't have a deaths totaliser on the screen in the old Blue Peter appeal stylee!

Nothing in Worcestershire, bit of rain overnight but pretty normal....
And yet on the radio this morning it seems like every rail operator in the south has suspended services, they've shut the Dartford bridge, etc. Is it really that much worse down south?
Oh and we took the boy to Drayton Manor yesterday to go to Thomas World, whilst looking round the zoo section later in the afternoon a branch fell off a tall tree and landed on me. Freaked me out but no harm done though it could have been a lot worse if it were a bigger lump of tree No injuries so no blame claim to be had

Well.. wind ripped out part of roof in our building - about 1.5m x 2m wide roof window which opens in case there's a fire to let the smoke out, so that's i guess somewhere on the roof with the whole mechanism, as it's missing!
And on the way to work (2 miles only) which usually takes about 7 minutes to get to, took about 15-20 just to find a way to get there! 2 closed by police due to trees on road, so took back alley - flooded, had to turn around again and had two choice and one of them was via woods to go around, but decided to drive under one of the trees.. should have asked missus to take more photos of other trees, but didn't really thought about it.
Was a tight squeeze, probably millimeters of the kerb.
Looking at it, just at about 3 miles radius, saw over 7 BIG trees down on roads or houses and loads of smaller ones.
