So f`ar storm has missed me, though believe very windy later.
Editing later, just off for dog walk, pouring with rain now!

IT seems Benjamin avoided us completely - wind wise that is, we have had rain overnight.

Us too thank heaven

Heavy rain but lighter winds than expected. We've missed the real bad stuff here luckily.

I sometimes wonder if, since poor Michael Fish made that statement about us not having a hurricane, back in 1987 (which he never lived down, because we did!) weather reports tend to err on the side of caution and warn of big storms just incase they happen. After all, I don't think anyone would be likely to complain of a storm that didn't happen!

You are right. If we weren’t warned and there was a massive storm that caused huge damage and loss of life, there would be a public outcry

I think they like to, 'big it up' like the fable "Wolf Wolf'. I get to the stage when I don't believe them and then one day it will be real!

Oh my goodness! It bucketed down here. And on my (26 mile) journey north, I could barely see to drive - but when I got half way, it was lovely.

Frost on the roofs here thismorning and now we have wuthering wind and heavy rain. Autumn is well and truly here and getting ready to turn into Winter!

Yes there was frost here this morning. 4 degrees when I went out. Today my fingerless mitts were not enough and I was thinking I need to dig out my gloves and leg warmers soon

What are your leg warmers like?

It certainly is xx

Interestingly, my son and OH have just taken part in the OMM , which stands for Original Mountain Marathon and has happened for the last 56 years always on this weekend just gone, because the weather is highly likely to be challenging. It combines race running and orienteering and involves camping out on the Saturday night, and takes place in the most rugged terrain the UK can offer. This year in the Lake District.

Did they enjoy it? It does sound so challenging, I am in awe they must be so tough.

Thank you. You look lovely in the sentry box with Red.

 

[Selina27]

Did they enjoy it?

Yes, they did. They do quite a lot of running, and my son is pretty savvy at reading the ground and finding his way around. So that and his clever girlfriend made a good pairing and they finished 5th in the section, so they were pleased.

Crazy weather here.....last week it nearly reached 40 degrees and today I have just taken a freshly laundered fleece out from hibernation as it is cold again! Max 18 today and currently only 15
