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.
