It is always quite windy here "On Top" but we now have the tail end of Hurricane Katia blowing at us. We did have a 15ft trampoline in the garden this time last year, but in the beginning of the year, the wind picked it up and threw it about 400 yards away into the field above it and it folded in half. That was in March.
Now this past few days have been even worse than the March winds. The place is a wreck here, though I must say, it is a damn site better than the U.S. had, so I now feel a little like I have over reacted by saying the place is a wreck, but you know what I mean!
I was supposed to have been collecting Sloe berries ready for an order I have, but it has been just too windy to get out there, and too dangerous. The bird table is shot to bits, zinc sheets have been picked up and thrown about like sheets of paper and the large tree in the garden has had a good pruning too.
When the weather is as bad as this so early in the Autumn, it really does make me worry what the winter has in store for us here "On Top".
Just hope that if we do have any snow this year, it is during my time off in December, as I dont think we would get out very far if not!
