I'm going to head out shortly to see how my aeration windmill is fairing. Supposedly they'll survive hurricane force winds, here's hoping.

9.30am and I've got a fence down already. And the big winds not meant to hit us till lunchtime. Gggrrrrrrrr

Anybody seen my dustbin lid?

I fish in all weathers but I'm so glad I'm not on the bank in this. Hats off to anyone who is

Is it the one stuck in the side of my car like bloody captain Americas shield...?

You've not seen winds until you've seen winds on Cassien.

Or Salagou!

Just lost the felt off of the shed roof as well

Agree with that. Salagou can be savage.

Our ducks have had enough and just turned up in the kitchen coming through the cat flap 😂

Lol.

Had my first winter carp on my water in 3 years this weekend, worth being out!

Really hitting down west now and buckets of rain to go with it. The crows usually weather the storm in the trees at the bottom of our lawn. You can usually see them, big black blobs in the branches. No sign of them at first today but when I went out to retrieve our dustbin lid just now I saw something I have never seen before, the crows were huddled in the undergrowth on the ground. It's getting really nasty now. So glad I am inside with a cold beer and a warm woman!



Lots of French fishing boats sheltering under the land off Falmouth and down near the Lizard. Can't be very nice for them even out of the weather. Those orange bits are commercial boats.

Just got in, I would have stayed but the lake is being netted in the morning, didn't have a bite but loved being out in that weather, on the bivvy front I used a titan hide XL and it coped admirably
