It was really windy here yesterday and we also lifted all the pots and put them away in the shed.
It's been calm all day today but, the wind does seem to be picking up again!

I'm truly scared of strong winds :-0 :-0 :-0

Ann, i did that at the weekend. Put my pots in the shed as they had been blown over once or twice already.

Sylvia, take care on wed wherever you are going to. better to drive slowly and arrive in one piece. Do you have far to go?

Take care

All is quiet here in yorkshire. I hope if it gets here it has gone by Wednesday as we have to travel on that day.

ooer - stay safe Florence <3

we're expecting it overnight but probably not half as bad as you'll be getting - I've put things away in the garden just in case

Is it wild with anyone yet?

Wind here has been quiet last hour and all of a sudden i can here it roaring and picking up all the time.

I am well ready with a good supply of candles and batteries for me torches.

we had a pre hurricane party last night lol.

it was a bit breezy...well only 60mph when i was just about to make a cuppa at 7pm. Without any flickering ..poof ..out the lights went and they never came on til 2am this morning.

Had to go and replenish candle stocks today as we used quite a few and I do have a lot according to OH too many.!! One can never have too many candles living up here I told him. So glad we do.

Going to fill the flasks so wont get caught out this time if it goes off.

Have to say, for a while it was quite cosy with the open fire surrounded by candles just didnt get to make that cuppa.

Stay safe everyone especially first thing tomorrow morning.
