Here in berkshire there are no panel fences left standing
We moved into a new house on Thursday. This morning I was out in the dark trying to shore up the fence with bits of wood. Eventually I had to pull
down one panel before it went through the window!
I then watched as two pains of glass flew out of the greenhouse! 
To stop any more damage to the greenhouse, I then had to go out and tape some cardboard over the hole! I made sure I put my crash helmet on before I
went out, I must have looked a right tw*t, but I felt safer!

Ditto - even down to the loft!!!
that explains them strange slippers i found this morning.......
It's certainly helped me find all the 'gaps' around the doors and laminate flooring in this 100 year old house.
Not checked the roof yet, too scared !!
Normal weather for Scotland whats all the fuss.
Horizontal rain and 100 mph winds quite normal...........
i had to get a roofer out yesterday cos the roof was so bad, including rotten beams! still sound he says, but absolutely riddled with holes! no felt
too...
i went up today and there were bits of tiles all over the place! the fella said around 50 tiles were cracked or missing!

In the middleof converting my attic and the wind is howling through the tiles and freezing my ass off (big hole in ceiling for stairs and no
insulation yet!!!
I have to pick up my chassis tomorrow on my roof rack - maybe I will be cancelling?
Been a bit windy, odd shower of rain, sunny today.
There are some compensations to living in East Anglia! (driest part of Britain). Typical climate is 'king 'ot in Summer with a drought,
then 'king cold in Winter with a steady icy wind (I live 5 miles from the coast - next bit of land to the North and East is on the other side of
the North Sea).
