We had gales 2 days ago, a stiff breeze yesterday but much nicer, and today it alternates between the two and the odd bucket of hail or water thrown in for a few minutes at random
During one of the better spells I ventured out on foot as far as the village and back to post a couple of letters and enjoy a slightly different view, but the "fresh air" was a wee bit too fresh on the way back, I nearly got whooshed into the road more than once
Animals all seem fine tho there is hay, rubbish, buckets, bags etc flying about occasionally
but at least it's less muddy with all this wind
