Down by the coast

We have been collecting drift wood for my coal fire and whilst i was there i took these photos

 

      

  

Today’s weather………….

It was very strange at 6am this morning outside all was calm and i mean calm……The air felt strange, there was no wind and it was dry, but looking into the sky things were a bit different……….. dark clouds in the distance………..

The Calm before the storm…….

 By 6.45 it had changed again and the wind was starting to blow…….., by 7.30, well the day darkened, the wind was howling and it started to rain…………….

The wind has howled all day, gusts of about 70mph and the heavens have opened……. i got soaked at one point. I don’t like the high winds, i was scared on the drive home, we were behind a wagon that was swaying about, and passed a wagon opening his sheet so the wind blew through his empty wagon, he was standing on the side of the motorway tying the sheet…. silly place, he could have got blown into the road…… that would have been nasty

i am worried that damage is done……… will my chimney be okay……… it’s so high i worry every time it is high winds incase it is blown down…….the chimney needs to come down or be reduced in size, but i wouldn’t like it to fall down and do damage.

I am now sitting at home in the warm listening to the wind howl outside, i can hear it’s raining too. But i am all snug and warm beside my coal fire

I can toast my feet and feel all warm.
