Yes, we might have some weather this weekend
It'll have to be pretty biblical to stop me going Calais on Sunday.
Where's the TP weatherman when you need him?

I did a chanel crossing at the time of the Fastnet race disaster - I have never seen so much vomit in my life - fair weather sailor only here now
Which crossing? I was on the Plymouth/Roscoff (I think, although it could have been Cherbourg/Le Havre) that day and I was the only customer for the cafeteria. I was the oik wandering around chomping on sandwiches, guzzling cans of coke and burping loudly! My most vivid memories are the besuited gentleman puking into the wind and getting it straight back and the similarly attired chap on his knees in the bog with the contents of many others' stomachs lapping around his knees as he knelt at the porcelain altar to Hughey...
Relatively calm here at the moment but we will be taking the bird feeders down just in case it starts blowing a hooley tonight.

As I Live in the Mendips we have taken the precautionary principle and cleared anything loose out of the garden and paddock and locked them in my under construction studio garage conversion. We are on the top of the hill here and hoping for a windfall sit on lawn.mower and maybe a vintage e type jaguar.....
But tomorrow I really do have it sussed. I'm using the tunnel
25 centigrade, sunny and warm, but then I am in Rhodes currently. Is it a bit wet back home? We fly back tonight.
I off down Portland Bill tomorrow :thumbs
Living on the east coast,we receive more than our fair share of "blows". As a cyclist,believe me I know about the effects of high winds and I have had to cancel many a ride because of our local weather. Having said that, I'm not sure what precautions I am supposed to take at home when a big blow is forecast. For sure I wouldn't venture out in a small boat when the forecast is so bad, but other than collecting my remaining apples from my trees before they are blown to the deck, what else am I supposed to do?
I keep my bike shed locked if that's what you meanDo you not have any hatches that need battening down :shrug:
Blimey - I thought CarolineS and I were the only TPers on the top of the hill.
Yup - batten down the hatches just in case; though it's gorgeous at the mo - light(ish) wind, fluffy white cloud and sunshine.

I just hope its not as bad as the great storm of 1987. That was devastating...it blew one of my wellies over and filled my fishpond with leaves!
