A cold and wild few days


 John took me over to Bashams Beach to see what the surf looked like, usually this is a safe haven for whales and their calves but not today.
There has been a lot of wind damage, John estimated that we had gusts up to 100 kms on Thursday, trees down, branches down every where.
When we went into the physio yesterday there was a lot of evidence of where trees had been across the road.
We havent had a storm like that for decades.
Our house being timber leaks like a seive and it was quite frightening hearing branches landing on the roof.
Last night I woke to hear hail pelting on the windows.
It hasnt warmed up much either, about 8 degrees C.
Any way it was nice to get out and see a wild sea and in a slightly different direction to where we usually go.
My knee is still a bit uncomfortable, perhaps the change in the weather!

Gosh Penny, that weather sounds grim. I hope your knee improves soon, I will be glad to get to the physio on Wednesday after I go home, then I will really find out how I am travelling. Cheers

Hope the wild weather settles now - the strength and power can be amazing. Hope you continue to recover and start hopping and dancing soon.

It can be so frightening when trees come down and things land on your roof in the night. Lovely clear skies afterwards.

Beautiful photos, Penny, despite (or because of) the wild weather.

Love those clouds Penny...but sometimes not what they deliver. Hope you are soon 100 per cent.

Incredible cloud shots. Sounds so odd to hear about the coldness when it's sweltering here in England!
