    The view from my windows at the moment look like a Discovery re-enactment of the Battle of the Somme so I was wondering if everybody else is okay after the latest week long predicted weather 'blip' has caught the UK completely by surprise, again.

    I am fine but my local yorkshire trading's outside display has taken a bit of a battering

    you boys down south and on the west coast appear to have had the worst of it though

    It's been a long time since I've seen the sea mud brown down here and the view across the estuary from my hous makes it look like beachfront property.

    Get it on the market quick then before the flood water recedes so you can advertise it with a sea view

    Lovely day today, not looking forward to tomorrow though. Much the same if not worse than yesterday apparently.

    Sunny here too at the moment. Should make it easier for people to find where they left their cars.

    All good here this morning and we still have a roof which was looking doubtful during last nights storm. The wind and rain was so strong you literally couldn’t stand up in it. The sound of the wind was like a jet engine coming over miles of open fields before smacking into our cottage. Truly biblical, considering making a start on building an ark later.

    All OK, here. Fingers crossed it never seems to matter how much it rains here. We get very localised flooding in country areas but nothing that seems to affect any of the houses. No idea why, really. If I had to guess I'd say it was down to the proximity to the river Tees which is pretty wide as it nears the coast and so never seems to have any problems sending all the water out to sea. It only tends to affect Yarm if they don't get the Tees barrage down quick enough.

    All fine up here too. Must admit it was windy yesterday and a few showers but nothing like some parts of the country seemed to have. Been a cracking day here today but didn`t take the bike out , I fitted the trick bits instead and gave her a good clean :)
