Month: February 2017

A Early Morning Transatlantic Jet….

Bright blue sky, sunshine and fluffy white clouds scurrying across the horizon.  Very different for the terrible dark day that Doris gave us yesterday. In theory we were in the eye of the storms path….so heading off to the woods there was some trepidation as to what damage we might find.   But a minor miracle occurred as we only had one tree (by the lake) snapped.  Perhaps it was not the strongest of specimens but none the less one less….

We have to hold our hands up and say we were lucky, many places did not do as well.  The worst we had was two short power outs.

So this morning both in the woods and by the lake all seems well…
