Monday

 

Bit misty and mizzly this morning - and still a bit of wind

Sea state was still quite angry

Jim and Maisie met Lottie who has also got a new coat

Afternoon walkies and the wind was starting to strengthen and we have a yellow warning again

Really was rather strange out there - bit if brightness and a massive area of dark low cloud

Plenty of blue sky as well

So dramatic!

Wind is now over 50mph - but we're getting used to it now!

Sunday

 

Less wind and showers still around this morning

Some nice noisy waves

Big shower clouds

Heard a crash during yesterday's storm and was surprised to see that this big heavy Palm had blown over during a really wild squall. When it briefly stopped raining I bravely and very carefully opened the patio door - closing it immediately and managed to stand the palm back up and tether it to a special hook that we have used in the past for the Christmas Tree

Surf School down in the waves

Afternoon walkies

Unfortunately there was lots of cloud approaching

Maisie's "Frenemies" again

Hoping for a sunset out on Men du Point - sadly not tonight!

Saturday

 Sorry no photos - after all the excitement of Storm Austen, today turned out to be much worse here in West Cornwall.

Lots of people in the area are still without power and to make matters worse it rained all day until around 5pm and the wind has been gusting over 70mph out at Gwennap Head. I went to Morrison's and it was horrendous trying to walk in the wind and torrential rain. Jim took Maisie to the field a couple of times when the rain lessened to drizzle briefly. Do hope everyone gets their power back soon, and thankyou to the teams of workers out in this terrible weather trying to sort it all out. 

Friday

 Storm Austen certainly lived up to all the hype. Not too windy until at around 5pm wham! massive gusts of wind - but now from the NW Largest gust at Gwennap Head was 94mph but NJCI Stepper Point Padstow had a gust of 111mph

Jim took Maisie down to the field for a brief visit

Later on when the wind had lessened a bit he decided that she really wanted another walk so off they went

Afternoon walkies with Nick - still windy !
