Hi to all POEsters.

Have a good day leading up to a decent rest, extra food, wee dram or two and a bit of TV on the 25th.

Mrs Brown will do for me...

Afternoon everyone, nice and sunny here today but still very windy. I'm not much of TV watcher either, I don't like soaps, I can't stand any sort of reality TV, like the dancing or singing stuff. When you've removed them there's not much left but repeats of the old stuff.

Afternoon John, we've just spoken to our friends in Cornwall, they are having water problems too, some of the roof has blown off and water has been pouring in the house. A portion of plasterwork has fallen from the kitchen wall, outside is flooded, it's still blowing and another storm is on the cards for Friday.

As you say Happy hols Frown

Unfortunately John our friends live right on the coast so they get everything the Atlantic throws at them. They are also in a very isolated spot, the end cottage of a row of 6 down a two mile track from the main road.  All the other houses on the row are holiday lets so no one around at this time of year to help them out. Both are in their mid 70's as well which doesn't help. Fortunately they have family not too far away that they can call on for help.

Fingers crossed for you and them that it doesn't get any worse.

Thank you Richard, I think we'll all be glad to see the back of this wind. Seems we are going to have break from it on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, then it's back on Friday.

We've been checking the York webcam throughout the day, it's seems York is slowly vanishing under water again. Roads signs that were above water level an hour ago have been sallowed up.
