Hello fellow midlander! Yes we are very lucky here. Sam.

Chesil is flooded. The sirens went off last night & they have now closed the Chesil Beach Rd. Still blowing a gale & raining.

Lovely and sunny here, just a little breezy!

It needs to be really because they're still pulling houses off the beach that fell from the cliffs when there was  the tidal surge a couple of months ago.  They're trying to smarten up for the summer!!

I am just around the corner from you by the old OS site and a row of big old trees which are making me a little nervous today 😞

Old trees are usually ok with their leaves off - unless the "let's grow ivy up every tree, ivy doesn't hurt trees" brigade have had their way.

Not so windy here at the moment, what an awful night, When I got up for work there were wheelie bins and contents everywhere. I didn't put mine out, told OH to when he went out with the dogs, (no he wouldn't have done it on his own).  The water was like a torrent going down the road,

[captainbovine]

no wind, here...veery calm, just raining a wee bit...sorry!

You won't get flooded out will you Ed?

[ed_blackadder_1]

Nope we are quite high up, and on a hill, not one that would collapse, more of a steep slope,  so we are fine here, just exposed to the wind when it blows from the west and south. So we are quite safe here.  My brother  lives quite near the Somerset levels and he went down over the weekend to have a look and said it was awful.  We have been there a few times and when we watch the TV we see where we walk with the dogs,or rather we don't see, it's all under water, so sad.

This is the only road to Portland. Usually protected by the Chesil Beach. Portland is an island again as it's the only road on & off!

Blowing a hooley last night and today here too. Have to keep rescuing plant pots and have stuck the door knocker down with blu-tac, 'cos I keep thinking there's someone at the door. Have spent so much time this morning answering the door to find no-one there. Wind is playing knock-down ginger

Where are you im about 2 mile's from   Mansfield 

[ilove2patch]

You must be Von! lol The road outside my house is gridlocked with stationary cars & lorrys. Don't know when they will be able to open the road!

[petitecalicocat]

Im beeing fussy about fabric atm just cant find the right shade of  green or blue thats not plain but not flowery , its for the baby quilt borders & sashings 🙂

[saasher2012]

OXTON Just up the road from Sherwood Forest, Small world ain't it?

[ilove2patch]

Like the fabric. A small spot would be nice if you can find the right colour.

[petitecalicocat]

Oxton is only about 15mins by car 

Maggie thats what i need something with a tiny print , i think maybe blue will be nicer than green as its for a boy 🙂

[saasher2012]

Keep your eyes open then when your passing by for a mad Shepherd in the fields swearing at the sheepdogs, that'll be me! lol

[petitecalicocat]

If you see a woman driving by with yards of fabric hanging out the boot that'll be me LOL LOL
