      Wet and a bit of a breeze here this morning. Otherwise uneventful so far. Apparently it will reach us later this morning.

        Just drove in along twisty tree lined road. No issues. One chopped up tree at the wide straight bit at the end (although couldn't swear that wasn't there last week!)

              3 Pot plants tipped over.
              1 10ft branch in garden. (2 x 100ft pine trees and 80ft Elm in garden)
              Leaves, everywhere and Japanese Maple has lost its beautiful red crown of leaves...

              Started blowing 05h30
              Finished blowing 06h15

              Non-event, really

                  I'm going outside. Wish me luck, there may be low flying crisp packets and leaves obstructing the pavement.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
