General Chat

Was lovely early afternoon.I ventured out to clean my patio and paths with patio cleaner and pressure washed them...at least half...have to pace myself these days,but we haven't had the sort of weather described...it rained about teatime,but we haven't had the wind yet!!...and I live quite high,on a corner and it sure can get the wind up here.
Maybe it's on its way?

Very windy on and off with showers of rain, quiet for now., here in S Wales

Hope everyone is safe and no bad damage.

Extremely windy down here in Cornwall quite concerned about our garden at home. We could hardly stand up down by Kynance and also opposite St Michaels Mount today.

Breezy April showers thro the day here in South Yorkshire

its very wet here but warm :-D :-D

Hail and heavy rain in East Yorkshire this afternoon between the sun shine but the wind is not very strong.

Hope all of you affected are safe and well.
Nothing like that up here. All calm for a change and quite pleasant last few days.

Take care now

in the hebrides :-)

Same as Carol P..............our bird table crashed down, 4 stacked garden chairs rolled down the path and hit the gate.

But, the very tightly pegged washing dried a treat once the rain stopped :-D

Gusty winds here, but seem to be easing now :-)

We were down at Minnis Bay near Birchington in Kent about lunchtime today & decided to have a stroll along the prom. 20 yards walking into the wind, decided we didn't like sand blowing into our faces so an about-turn. With the wind behind us the walk back took half the time!

OH said that there were a lot of cross winds in places on the M2, particularly the Medway Bridge. Although his hands were roughly at '10 to 2', in that section they were at '5 to 4'ish to counteract the winds.

Not as bad as Wales, but still quite strong.

some really strong gusts down here in Sussex. Have had a couple of short power cuts.

ALTERNATES BETWEEN GALES AND POURING RAIN HERE
AND GARDEN FURNITURE BLOWING ROUND THE GARDEN,

Nothing like that here so far Ann, take care all and I
hope it calms down soon for you.

Emma

hope every one is okay

it's quite frightening - because of the bank hoiliday our bins were collected today instead of yesterday - just been out in the road retrieving bins from all over the place

Very gusty here in Harlow :-0

Yes Ann we have it here too.

A huge stone bird table has gone over and completely broken a beautiful Pieris off from ground level :-( :-(

Its a bit on the breezy side here in Kent

A mixture of sunshine and showers that lull you into putting the washing out only to be too late to rescue it from a sudden downpour

I hate my washing getting wet . the rain isnt clean so leaves dirty spots .

I will take a wash load in and re rinse it if it gets saturated

Nothing as bad as that here in the East Midlands ,but it is extremely windy and we just had a power cut :-S.Hope your damage is not going to be too bad Ann.

anyone else suffering these? causing untold damage in my garden - would be suprised if there are not some serious accidents caused
