Wind ,Rain and what a difference a Day Makes

I've woken up this morning to take my beloved to work. The Sun was just rising , lighting up the sky with beautiful wispy clouds, light blues of the early morning sky, reds,yellows and golds reflected in the clouds, and the same gold, yellows and browns being copied on the leaves of the trees.

What a total difference from yesterday.I sat looking through the window - Dogs blowing up the road (almost), People chasing various pieces of their Gardens, and at some points the Rain was so strong, the sheet of water literally obscured the Car (and this was parked on the road no more than 15 feet (4 or 5 metres) away.

Our back garden looks like a war zone - our little plastic greenhouse/coldframe is laying on its side, the recycling bins are now all empty, but the same could not be said of the flower beds .

And we were lucky - I "talked", via MSN messenger, to a mate "down south" - he had already lost his brand new fence, and from pictures on the TV news up can see many up rooted trees and over turned planes.

Mind you, the funniest thing to come out of the last 24 hours, if there is anything funny, is a story that has just been on the BBC Breakfast news. An RAF base has asked the public to report back them if they find a blowup Tank that got blown away in the wind.

That should put the "wind" up a few people.
