hi every one , just seeing what damage the wind has caused around the up first in the house having me cuppa reading the papers a ciggie,she gets up opens back curtains and AWWWWWWWWW the back fence has gone on a vacation our dogs are paying a visit to our neighbours garden santa must of got his fat arse stuck in the chimney pot cause thats gone to, me 40 ft trees bending like beckam shit ,great start to the day. so whats the damage around the country,all this and got to be up early to play football tomorrow morning ,
Well, as my Dad used say,
"It's better to fart
And bear the shame
Than not to fart
And bear the pain".
5 fence panels went and the shed uprooted and blew over into next door.
Said to the neighbour - " was thinking about getting a new one, just have to do it earlier than expected"
He said to me " what made you think I wanted your old one?"
Fair play to him!
Next door neighbours on both sides lost tiles/slates. I managed to get off lightly with just some flashing gone.
few tiles gone here.
Went to check on the horses (left them out in case the stable roof came off but left the doors open) new fence that I had done this year was intact but the fence belonging the person next to me is totally demolished, shhets of glass have blown off the greenhouse and there's debris everywhere.
At least the horses are ok though
Not much different here either, 5, 6' x 6' garden fence panels gone along with their 8"x4" posts, half the branches off the pine tree in the garden (yipee) I've been wanting to fell that for years, but there's a Tree Presevation Order on it. Slates off the roof and the insurance Co, unobtainable by phone. (Typical) I spent the day at Carlisle helping an old mate to drain his house out, so my problems don't seem so bad.
Weather man says 3 more days of gales, bugger. Why do they only get it right when it's bad weather.

Need a bath, stink to high heaven, thoroughly wet, and pissed off, for News at 10. lol.
I've just come back (to Derbyshire) after a weekend away to find my fairly heavy wooden garden furniture scattered all aover the place.
But does this mean I have a ready made excuse for "weaving" and "drifting" as I come up the A1 and A19 tomorrow?
lost a bit of the roof the other night, lost even more tonight as it sounds even worse,
found the bin several yards up the fell and the dog got blown over when I took him out!
I thought I was hard done by till I read some of these. One of my backgate posts had a massive ivy growth on it. It looked like something out of Doctor Who and that was my nickname for it. I was wakened by a massive thump at some awful hour of the morning and had to get up to have a look. The gate post had been turned over. Sandstone, torn out and smashed into three pieces.
Just as well I have a couple of big strong guys to clear up for me - the post must weigh a ton.

AWWWWWW ive got a tile loose (so the docter told me)
Hiya! My neighbours garden shed has blown down. The four sides have literally came apart and broke into pieces! And shes on holiday so she has no idea what shes coming home to. I had to take her gardening tools into mines and everything else that hadnt been ruined or blown away incase someone with sticky fingers turned up!!!! Poor soul.
the forecast is for more of the same later this week,
might have nice view of the stars when I'm lying bed by then as the roofer didn't turn up to repair the damage today
could be romantic but its more likley to be pissing down at the same time!
i've been lucky so far but bracing myself for tonights expected wind and rain. still could be worse i guess, and on a lighter note foxy it,sd a natural bodily function to fart (even the Queen farts hon) so you let rip gurl.
