... Is frightful. Appalling - howling gales, driving winds, travel warnings, flooding... We are at my mum's, battening down the hatches for the evening! The next few days are going to be really busy. Poppy is having a lovely time, daughter has arrived from the states, son coming in time for new year's... I'll be popping on from time to time, but may not have enough time to be on the forum very much. Wishing you all a lovely pre-Christmas time, wherever you are - stay safe and dry! Karen
Re: The weather in the uk... Happy Christmas Karen! Just got back from a very short walk with Lady. Wind is fierce soyes batten down the hatches!
Re: The weather in the uk... Happt Christmas from me and mine too xx Our power has been on and off all day , howling gales and sidewards rain has caused lots of damage and local flooding once more , par for the course down here :
Re: The weather in the uk... Merry Christmas Karen, weather absolutely miserable here, trees down, flooded roads, mud upto our ankles, gale force winds. Have done all I can do for Christmas, whatever I have forgotten - TOUGH ;D
Re: The weather in the uk... Absolutely awful here - still up, as neighbour's tree is across our back garden! Much inspecting of garden walls with torches etc. OH has decided it's too risky to have puppy at the back of the house, so all 30kgs got carried up the stairs for a special treat of a sleep in the bedroom. Honestly. : It's only because OH likes puppy cuddles in bed.
Re: The weather in the uk... Flood water reached the house but not in the house as step too high. Phew!
Re: The weather in the uk... Hope everyone is safe in the winds and floods. Lying in bed this morning....Christmas music playing. .....wind howling....hailstones...... Maybe we will think about a walk a little later Really hope everyone is keeping safe, whether travelling or just at home. Look after yourselves. xxx
Re: The weather in the uk... Weather overnight here has been dreadful , lots of flooded roads, tress down and general chaos I took the dogs to Golitha Falls this morning, it is a proper mess, paths washed away , lots of damage to trees, bridges over the river are dislodged and unsafe, we didnt stay long
Re: The weather in the uk... Hope everyone's ok this morning! We have no power, hopefully the turkey is still cool enough and we'll get some power back so we can cook it tomorrow! Otherwise it's cheese sandwiches all round ;D

Re: The weather in the uk... yesterday was appalling, howling winds. We had a sleepless night as barley would not settle as he could hear the wind and he found it distressing, i ended up sleeping downstairs on the sofa as he would not sleep, whilst puzzle was in the land of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Re: The weather in the uk... Hope it settles down for everyone and that you all have a peaceful Christmas!
