Very windy

 Very windy indeed!

I hibernated until 9am, listen to the rain being whipped against the windows.

But then we had a brief respite before it ramped up again..by this evening the gusts are almost 60mph..a little less than forecast, thankfully.

I spent a good three hours after breakfast doing an amount of Ancestry research for our French based friend ...good to get back into the routine before getting on with Pirate's tree.

Then half an hour on the turbo...no way was I going out!!



And the winter quilt has been added...


I made that a very long time ago!!

And last night I was so busy messaging with friends I forgot to hit publish!!

Glad to see you have not been blown away!
I love that quilt. It is beautiful.

Winds here not too bad too (but then we're a good bit inland from the coast). I imagine it was a good bit rougher on the front at Aber.

Ah, geometric quilt - nicely done. I bet you were snug under that.

Your quilt is lovely. I do like getting out and walking as exercise and just to get out, but also am fortunate to have a fitness centre a few minutes away that I can go to if the weather is bad. They have a good seniors rate. It has been very windy here, and the beautiful fall leaves are being blown away. Jean in Winnipeg

Yes, very snug..it has an Army surplus wool blanket as wadding...it is named Melinau Môn...after all the mills that used to be on Anglesey...the four winds are quilted on the corners and the waves on each border

I like your winter quilt. Looks very dramatic!

I stocked up on Aldi Scotch whisky and slept like a log through the gale. It always works for me.

Dramatic quilt! I love how you and Pirate made your land like a small farm. :)

Glad you were safe and snug under the warm quilt. I also did a blanket as batting for the last quilt I made.

High wind and rain are not a nice combination.

That quilt is a beauty. I like your garden, takes advantage of every inch!
Better put some tie-downs on you in that wind.

Aldi's sells whisky??? Not over here in the US.

The high winds are pruning done by nature. Reducing the dead/unhealthy growth on trees and shrubs is good. Debris clean-up is usually the next task.
Your quilt looks lovely and warm. Beautifully made and nicely designed.

It was windy here too, but I suspect not as much as where you are!

The only good thing about storms and wild weather is that you can be snuggly warm in your home and just listening to it.
I adore your quilt. It looks so effective. Especially as it’s in my football teams colours of black and white.

I alerted a blogger friend to your blog. He's wondering the best way to get from London to Edinburgh as he's planning a tour next spring. I hate weather like that, unless I can stay inside and watch it through the window and if it doesn't cause any damage to me or my property. I'd pour another tot.

I have a thing about sleeping and/or hibernating when its raining, it makes me feel safe and warm.

In the centre yes...dark blue border... representative of the sea

Travelling by bike?

I was at the new house a couple weeks back, and I realized that I could hear the wind howling. It's been a long time, since that is not a sound we hear in town. I stopped and listened, and it made me feel like I was, once again, where I belonged.

It is windy here at the moment but not to that degree!
