Seems to have arrived early as just got woken up by a howlin wind which has now eased but not before the new fence panels our neighbour put in the other week got blown out.
Will be checking for other damage when it's light.

Last night's activity (woke me up with the hail thundering against the window and setting off car alarms left, right and centre) was merely a squall line. Storm Dennis is the fun and games we're due over the weekend.

Quite a squall here by the sea! Will wait tell after Dennis to get fence posts replaced. A ccouple of weeks calm to assess and repair damage would be handy

Good luck.

Primarily because I've just booked to fly out of Heathrow on Saturday morning.

Musical Youth's Youth of Today song begins with the line Dennis come back with me apple pie. I plan to leave some apple pies on my balcony this weekend so that i can finally bring that lyric into a real-life event for me.

Do we ever get storms towards the end of the alphabet?
