Blue Train Posted October 27, 2013 Report Posted October 27, 2013 Still very calm here. Famous last words Mr Fish ! As long as he remembers to follow the yellow brick road, avoid winged monkeys, anyone on a broom, or just cut to the chase and click his heels three times and saying there is no place like home.

sidewinder Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Strange - not even a dustbin blown over here. So far.. Suspect that you had to be right on the coast to feel the worst of this one. Edited October 28, 2013 by sidewinder Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Strange - not even a dustbin blown over here. So far.. Suspect that you had to be right on the coast to feel the worst of this one. Indeed. The people across the road left their recycling bags out on top of their wheelie bins and hadn't moved this morning. Phew! MG Quote
erwbol Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Two uprooted trees when I went out for a walk this morning. One in the park, the other blocking a busy road. Edit: Two more uprooted trees around the corner from where I live. Edited October 28, 2013 by erwbol Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Never really happened here. A fair bit of rain, a bit of light wind but clearly we were spared. I will return my flagellation kit to the loft. Quote
Blue Train Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Same here....though no F kit on my end. Quote
BillF Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Never really happened here. But we've still had to listen to hours of coverage by the Londoncentric media! Quote

Indeed. The people across the road left their recycling bags out on top of their wheelie bins and hadn't moved this morning. Phew! MG I spoke too soon - there was a major branch fall down the lane blocking me from getting out for a while this morning. My place remained unscathed though. Most of the people at my place who ended up working from home were London-area based. Nambies ! Quote
erwbol Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 My parents had to call the fire department to have a large tree in their backyard which was about to fall over dismantled. Quote
porcy62 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Sorry for your problems, hope you're doing well. Here in center/south Italy the weather is gorgeous, steadily sunny between 10 and 25 degrees celsius, quite an event considering the season. Quote
erwbol Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Thank you. Eventually only the tree ended up damaged. The sad thing is that tree was thirty-seven years old and its disappearance will make their garden temporarily look a bit empty (the house is up for sale). Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 According to the news today it is being suggested that the reason so many trees blew down was because of all the digging going on to install broadband cables. Has rendered the roots unstable. Hmmm. Quote
kinuta Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Beautiful, blue skies, warm but cool at night, leaves turning brown. Quote
Tim McG Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 It actually feels like Fall around these parts Quote
paul secor Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 First snow of the year here - discounting a couple of flakes last week. Looks like it will melt away by tomorrow. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 Pleasant here today. MG Quote
jazzbo Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 Second snow of the year so far, first time it stuck and stayed over night. It's going to be a long cold winter for this lonely transplanted Texan. Quote
kinuta Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Blue skies, 'bracing' as visitors to Skegness may recall. The locals are all bundled up for a trip to the arctic. Tokyoites are a nesh lot. Quote

kinuta Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Lovely crisp and cool weather with clear blue skies. Perfect for walking. Yesterday I walked a full, 42 K marathon. Excuse the inappropriate posting but I feel the need for a mini boast! Quote
