Well... we rarely have "blocking systems" in the UK, that's true, but we did have one this year - & it resulted in (no surprise) catastrophic flooding!

We needed to move the witch hazel - the planter box it was in was rotten, but the fence it was next to was badly damaged by #StormHenk and I wanted to make sure it didn't get damaged.

Will there be a bus this morning?
#stormHenk and living on a hilly peninsula in the archipelago doesn't help
Of course there is a bus!
What better than to be snug on a bus read the newspaper (or sleep) than to dig out the car?

After Storm Henk, the outlook is drier but colder for next week
As the clear-up continues after Storm Henk the outlook into next week is drier, more settled but colder. Before that, we do have more showers as flood warnings continue.
