Windy Night...

Well, what a night last night!!

I went down to get Mouse in from the field at about seven pm the wind was already howling around and it was raining quite heavily, you would think they would be waiting to come in but no both Mouse and Gold were in the middle of the field having none of it. I had to go and fetch her, unheard of!, back at the gate she was spooking at everything, the wind was whistling through the chicken coops that she didn't like and when we were on the bridge something made her leap sideways so that she nearly leaped into the river, so glad my lead rope is ten feet long! finally I got her into her stable. Then went to help Golds owner bring her in.

At eleven thirty I heard a couple of tiles slipping on the roof, and suggested to my husband that I should move the car in case they came off and hit it but being snuggled up in my nice warm bed was too much, the howling wind and torrential down pours outside just added to the cosiness of my bed, the car took its chances alone in the storm and I might add survived perfectly.

On the road to the stables this morning though the debris was apparent, trees down and branches all over the place, so glad I wasn't on nights last night.

Today it's still windy and there are a lot of threatening clouds in the sky but it isn't anywhere near as bad as it was during the night. Why are storms so much worse at night?
