    Goodness, it looks like it's batten down the hatches time. I hope that all is okay once it calms down.
    Stay safe and take care! Flighty xx

      Thanks Flighty ~ the winds did die down, and luckily no power outages here, although there were many downed branches and folk without electric power on the southern section of the island. Today we were in for another little hit of winter who doesn't like to leave without putting on a show!;)

    This post seems to have slipped through the net Glo - you are certainly getting plenty of variation in your weather.
