Well on the good side, My daughter and son in law have just arrived back from Cornwall safely :):)

Back Soon :)

It brightened right up here in Norfolk earlier......but the wind and rain are back with a vengance.
Glad your folks got home ok Colin.
My boy got back from Dorset last night :)

I live on the Kent/East Sussex border and was woken by the windy weather several times during the night. It is bucketing down here, as it has been for most of the day except for a brief respite mid-morning. We live on a ridge so the noise of the gusting wind is fantastic! Most of my windows and doors are leaking...

I can imagine soggy towels on your window sills Helen......hope it isn't to bad.

well got wet a few times today but seems to be quick now

Its still really windy here on the Surrey/Hants border. Rain coming and going, but really heavy at times, thunder and lightening at lunchtime. It's been like this here since late evening yesterday. In between we get bouts of brilliant sunshine, but it's soon chased away by the wind and rain. Fence threatening to go at any time. No dog walking today in the woods !!!!

We seem to have missed the worst of it here. it is windy but not too bad and we have had some very heavy rain but nothing like last July so perhaps we had our share then!!
Brilliant sunshine at the moment.

Amanda, you are so close to the truth! Today soggy towels remain on only 3 windowsills and under a couple of doors, and that's just the rain! We are nowhere near the floods!!
