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
Safe journey tonight
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, John.
ReplyDeleteA bit blustery here, but not too bad. I hope your journey to and from work is without incident. Safe travels. xx
ReplyDeleteTake care John, let us know you are safe xx
ReplyDeleteDrive safe and hope you have an easy shift. Gigi
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteSafe 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.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well. Hope the bitter winds subside.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.
ReplyDeleteTake care as you head out to work. Hope the wind has gone elsewhere or died down before you need to depart.
ReplyDeleteWish 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!
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.
ReplyDeleteBe careful, John!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been windy here, and scary this year because of all the fires out here. Stay safe! Cali
ReplyDeleteDrive carefully. Xx
ReplyDeleteI hope your travels and your shift went without incident and you're now home safe and tucked up in your lovely above with the furry's.
ReplyDeleteAbode not above!
DeleteSafe travels to & from work. Hoping the night shift is calm.
ReplyDeleteStay safe. There looks to be a massive loss of trees in Ayrshire.. hopefully no loss of life anywhere x
ReplyDeleteSadly, gz, I've just seen on the news that a man has been killed in NI by a fallen tree.
DeletePls let us know you are okay. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteWe are even getting news of your storm of the century. Take care. Gigi
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to hear from you when you are safely home again,-Mary
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, all I can say is, be careful.
ReplyDeleteWhen is your update?
ReplyDeleteHope all is well. Good night from here.
Hugs!
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.
ReplyDeleteHere in Hertfordshire we were supposed to be in a yellow warning zone.......I didn't notice any wind at all!! Hope that you are all OK in Wales though.
ReplyDeleteI wondered how you were faring!
ReplyDeleteNot good when there is no choice about travelling in dangerous weather.
