The wind roared here all night, sounds like a freight train - I get quite scared when it does that, even though we're safe inside a solid stone house. The wind was strong enough to bring branches and small trees down, but not for whole large trees to fall.
Most stuff which could blow away has already done so over the years. Haven't checked the slates yet, but the roof is waiting for a rebuild so slates off is likely.
Our power went off in the night, so I have a bread maker full of soggy dough. Power's still off but we have a gennie so, tada, here I am
Scottish power 'think' they will have power restored by 4 this afternoon, but we'll see.
I was thinking of those of you further north and west, getting the full force of the wind - good to hear those with power are ok - hope everyone else is too.
Update - yep, loads of slates off the roof
It's forecast to remain windy for a few more days yet, so too dangerous to go clambering about up there and we'll probably have a wet attic.
We can see them replacing the downed pole further down the hill, so hopefully we'll have power by dinner time
I wonder if I can save that bread?
