In the middle of the night there was a loud crash and Mrs G's precious orchid was blown out of its pot and off the kitchen window and into the centre of the kitchen where it landed miraculously intact. This morning I noticed a fence had been blown over onto a car and the drains were blocked with leaves and other debris. A Norwegian professor said in 50 years they will have weather like Southern Europe.

I do listen to forecasts and as a result have carried a rain jacket with me throughout the week and only needed it on Thursday! I read in a newspaper a few days ago, that we are to have a very severe winter this year, but so often these dire predictions come to nothing.
