Wednesday turned out to be wet and stormy as after a day of rain we were battered by storm force winds for much of the evening and into the early hours of Thursday morning.
In all we had 9.6mm of rain bringing the monthly total up to 45.2mm which is about what we’d expect in the whole month. The wind was certainly the worst feature with storm force winds from around 17:00 Wednesday evening through to 03:00 on Thursday morning. This time we weren't so lucky at avoiding any damage.
A large junk of mortar was dislodged from our neighbours roof and finished up on our car’s bonnet.
It’s made a couple of pretty large dents where it hit and then broke into several pieces. So it’s a trip to the garage this morning for an estimate for repairing the damage.
As for the greenhouse at home that’s another story. I'm rather dreading a visit to the plot to see what havoc it wreaked there.

I always worry about something coming down on the cars. I hope it doesn't cost too much to get it repaired. My phone line and internet was down from lunch time, I've just had a call from my mum and her's was too, so I think it must have affected the whole area. My greenhouse only has a few panels left in it, but it's glazed with polycarbonate which really needed replacing anyway, so I'm not even going to bother putting it back together until I source some new panels. I hope we've seen the last of the winds now, it's my worst kind of weather.
ReplyDeleteIt's polycarbonate sheeting that blown out of ours. Must find a better fixing method so that the panels can't flex either way.
DeleteOh dear, sorry about your car. We have a bit of fence down, and our next-door neighbour's chimney is teetering dangerously. I do hope your greenhouse is okay.
ReplyDeleteCar is going to be expensive. At least I can fix the greenhouse. Glad you didn't have too much damage. Hope that chimney stays in one piece until it is repaired.
DeleteLovely to see your veg which, whatever shape, are going to have more flavour than those in the supermarket. Lovely bird pics and was thrilled with the steam loco pics. We had a holiday around York and Harrogate last June and enjoyed special excusions by steam.
