Katie is a Fecking Bitch

currently gusting to 55mph

which is quite noisy, it will blow over bins, maybe the odd old tree and some fences etc

Ammi

..yeah they have to learn to be heavier and not so little, so that they don't get swept away by strong gusts of wind...silly small people, when will they learn....

..yeah the trees are what I'm worried about, we have around a 45 min drive later to go for lunch and it's all narrow, tree lined country lanes, so I'm thinking that I may cancel...I think the bigger roads will be a nightmare as well...how is it with you up there..?...

Woke up to closed roads and Scenes reminiscent of Narnia this morning in Buxton.
It is melting fast now though and the snow ploughs have got things moving..
