Éowyn

 It’s rough.
I woke to the roar of the wind and Weaver angrily swiping claws at my toes.
The wind has a real edge to it, and even the Welsh who love a leisurely walk and sniff, kept their heads down and pulled for home. 
The ponies, as she had predicted stood with their backs to the wind in the shelter of the hawthorn hedges and the private windmill at Marion Mawr ,far across the valley, whirled crazily.
I checked the village Facebook page, 
The Arla cattle crossing near Sarn had been closed by fallen trees, but no one has suffered power cuts yet.
I think the school is closed too
I’m working a single night shift tonight which will be fun getting to, I will add to the post later

  6. It was hammering us in the middle of the night, then moved north to you. It should have left you by tonight, but we've only been in the yellow/amber zones. I dread to think what it's been like in Ireland and what Scotland is going through right now. We've had a little damage, but nothing to worry about compared to some.

  7. Safe journey tonight John, hopefully things may have calmed down a little by then. It's blowing a hoolie here at the moment and the wheelie bins after a rowdy night of dancing, have lain themselves down and are currently sliding around the driveway.

    Take care as you head out to work. Hope the wind has gone elsewhere or died down before you need to depart.
    Wish the horses had better shelter, but suppose they are built for winter weather there.
    As I read a while back: "There is no bad weather. There is only insufficient clothing."
    Safe journey there and home again.

    Hugs!

  10. High winds can cause some havoc. My late Uncle used to say it is nature's way of pruning the trees. All fine and well, but when a tree crashes to the ground that is more than pruning. Stay warm. Safe travels.

    It’s been windy here, and scary this year because of all the fires out here. Stay safe! Cali

  17. Looks like Éowyn has now passed by. I am not sure if Éowyn was male or female. They might have been transgender even though Dumbo Trump has ruled that there are only two sexes.

  22. I, too, will be glad when you are able to check in again. It sounds as if things got quite wild in your neck of the woods. Be safe.
