This was the scene just after 8am this morning...
Vehicles have been overturned by the wind, bridges restricted and train services suspended ....
It now looks a little brighter, with blue sky patches showing through, but the clouds are moving space..we are having guests up to 50 mph as the Mull of Kintyre shelters us somewhat. Friends in the far Northeast had 85mph guests early this morning.
Not good, but apparently Denmark will be feeling the full brunt of this as it swirls around all of Europe.
No going out today...we missed a delivery today as we'd gone to Glasgow...we had told the sender that we wouldn't be here, but.....and as it is a bottle of whisky, we have to receive it...so we are sitting here kicking our heels.
Or rather I am, as Pirate is having a nap!!!
When is the delivery scheduled? Sometime before 10pm.....
All this made us forget a reflexology appointment...but thankfully that has been moved back and not charged for.
As soon as the offending article is delivered....or Pirate wakes up...I can get on with Beetroot chutney and pickling. The last of the crop was lifted a couple of days ago and the rain has made a good job of washing the earth off the beets!
Pirate has now chosen to go for further treatment... hopefully this will go ok...within the next three months. It won't get rid of Charlie...but it should make his life easier and less painful. The sooner the better.
It is getting him down...and the weather isn't helping, day after sodden windy day.
