Back home now after our trip up north this weekend. We missed the St Jude's storm which blew in on Sunday night into Monday morning, producing a top windspeed gust of 99mph on the Isle of Wight and about 70mph gusts along the south coast. Up in Tyneside it was sunny, calm and a wonderful weekend. It was surreal to be hearing about the wind and the nearly 2 inches of rain that fell in Somerset. It was good therefore to get back to Wiltshire and check everything was ok. The trees are still standing (although the one on the left is destined for the chainsaw over the winter) and the fence panels have stayed up. I'm glad though we took down the three fence panels which were flopping about on Friday. Personally I'd be happy to see the fence panels not replaced, I like the open plan look to the garden, but I guess we need a bit of privacy.
