Tree down over a fence I fixed a few months back an easy fix, lots of loose stuff in the corner of the fields not as bad as its sounded earlier on, easing of now. Hope everyone is ok.

Just heard from son, Peterhead and Aberdeen harbours closed. Bobbing about at cruden bay.

Started writing this some time ago and it crashed - thought that was that for internet access, too...
Just read that all trains are cancelled in Scotland - we had a hellish trip on the bus this morning, too - now I'm seriously thinking I should have stayed home this morning! The wind is supposed to calm down this afternoon - maybe; so should I stay here until then, or try and get home while the going is good?!
 
Update - just read the winds will calm down everywhere except the east coast - oh bloody brilliant! I think I'd better pack up and make tracks.

been up since 3am. one of my chicken runs is matchwood chickens all fine thankfully. lots of trees down, can't currently leave home as A72 is backed up through branches and accidents and the A702 was shut as well.lots of rain, ponies are fetlock deep in water (got to love Exmoors though, they just keep eating!). This is the worst storm I've seen since I've been up here, and I was here for bawbags, but we are much more exposed where we are now. snow is coming and going, not laying.

I only woke once, couldn't see much damage and wouldn't have tackled it in the dark anyway.  Had a Leylandii come down last week, but none this time fortunately..  Lost my new plastic mini tunnel though, and garden furniture all over the place.  Birds all Ok, did wonder about letting the new ducks out as the burn is over the top - thought they'd enjoy it, but not sure I'd get them back in at night.

Very large tree down in pig paddock, breaching fence into ewe lambs' paddock.  All stock in paddocks ok, haven't been out to check the rest of the farm yet.  We have had a call to say there's a tree breaching a fence from a garden to a field where we have some stirks, but she didn't think the stirks were nearby.

Stupid man has gone off to mart with cow in large livestock trailer 

I am just going to say this to you now so that if something happens and your family are all blaming me for letting you go... "I forbid you to go"

Like I can make any difference 

We had flickering lights earlier but it is a little less wild and windy here now, and the skies are a little clearer.  I don't yet know if it's a lull or whether it's starting to clear through now.

[SheepCrazy!]

Having a duvet day after going to save the tarpaulin off my housemates logs pulled the door shut and NO keys three hours in the stable later the landlady appears to let me back in, (At least I finally had time to rearrange the hay bales) Lots of damage in the Dumfries and Galloway 50 to 60 trees down on the Carsphairn road! Luckily none at my house just one very wet smallholder and some wet animals. Tomorrows job is getting a spare key cut!  Keep safe everybody

My parents and family were in Scotland on a coach trip.  The hotel they were staying in last night had a power failure, part of the roof blew off and rain poured in!  At least it was the last night of the holiday, but was quite scary in the middle of the night.


It's just very blustery here in Lincoln. I keep heading round the place to close our front gate and check for fallen branches.   Bit of rain now, but not enough to stop the hoards of people heading here for our Christmas Market for the next four days!!  Lincoln becomes hellish this time of year!

Heavy winds and rain this morning. Sliding door on poly blew open. Luckily the giant balloon poly is ok and doors now securely bolted.
 Poor new bald rescue hens not happy, soggy and cold. I've made a makeshift Perspex wall on 2 sides of their covered area as the rain was horizontal so they were still soaked undercover ( they haven't quite got the idea of going indoors in bad weather  )
The sun broke out for 10mins but now it's blowing a gale, halestones and rain  The roof of the hen storage shed blew off down the road and blew one door off. Makeshift repairs made  it's holding.

Still don't think its as bad as you poor guys up north or west of here
 Stay safe everyone   

[Roxy]

Hope everyone is safe.
It was dark until 9am, and the wind blowing terribly, so struggled round the livestock, and left the hens inside, fearing they may get blown over the neighbours wall!!
 
Wind has got steadily worse through the morning, and its been raining.  Just off to check both farms now, as worry about roofs taking flight, and injuring the livestock. At least I was walking down the hill from farm to house, and the wind was behind me - would have been a difficult journey walking up the hill!!
 
How strange - internet working in this weather - most days its useless!!

[john and helen]

Hope you guys are all ok and not to much damage, sounds awful up there

  it moves away quickly

[sabrina]

Still bad with us. animals inside but had thought that they may have got out by now. Wind is suppose to die down. Not happening yet. should have been going out to lunch with my son but I cancelled as did not want him driving out from Aberdeen in this. Can see bits of blue sky, if only the wind would drop.

[bloomer]

I have finally achieved my mission since arriving in scotland, for the first time today i got every major weather group, high winds, rain, hail, snow, and beautiful autumnal sunshine...

West coast Wiiiindy! Got to school to find it closed (got an email informing us just as we pulled up)....after driving around fallen trees & a shed roof in the middle of the A77. At home, fence down, barn window gone!!! where we don't know!!! Slates off, branches everywhere. Oh and we had no electricity all morning, kids petrified until we found the candels

Currently hailing (sun was shining 5 mins ago...now its gone black out)....Fire roaring, Christmas cards written, just gunna crack open the Christmas decorations with the kids 

(Edited to add its snowing) very festive. Stay safe x

[happygolucky]

No damage here at all, even our loose felt on the shed is OK...but Steve could not get to work, he got to Stirling but trains were cancelled so we went for breakfast and had a nice dog walk, there we did see trees down but the sun was out and it was quite warm although there was some snow. We have been let of lightly I think!!
