Thanks for the comments all. I too thought the piece of land on the left anchored it a bit, but I'll have a look as see how it works out and oh yes I should have dealt with the dust bunnies.
If it is any consolation Jan, until yesterday the weather had been pretty bad for a week - rain and low cloud, higher real temperature but it felt colder, and about three days when it did not seem to get light at all, but then yesterday - just superb.
