Storm Frank!
Last night I thought we had had the brunt of Storm Frank and made a premature comment to a friend that it wasn't too bad. This morning I've changed my mind. It has passed through here now and there is massive flooding in many areas and a lot of wind damage.Good luck to all those in its path!
On the bright side, we have lovely sunshine now, not seen for weeks.

Re: Storm Frank!
We heard that storm Frank was heading your way overnight Orangutan, hope there is not too much damage. It is then heading back to Yorkshire for more floods. It is so heartbreaking.We had major gales last night, we have only just had the fencing on one side of the garden put back after the last lot of gales.

How's it going in Ireland ?

Parts of the county I live in have been the worst hit, and there are numerous road and bridge closures. The town of Bandon has been badly flooded for the third time this month, and a friend who lives not far from there says her house was saved by the fire brigade constantly pumping water. They must have done a good job, as they managed to save all but one house in that road from flooding.Just been back to check on my old house (it was still raining lightly there, but sunny at my new place
), which is in a very exposed position, and delighted to say it is in one piece. I think the architect who built it did a good job of making it resilient!
