Well so much for my nice start to January, here is the devastation that awaited me this morning. Greenhouse completely smashed and 7 trees gone. At least the house and HQ are still intact and all people and animals are fine, but the greenhouse is a major blow.
It is only 9am and already l have had three friends phone to see if l need help, so sweet of them. I should not feel down, there are folks in far worse states, but boy oh boy l didn't need this for Dream Acres this year. I know the greenhouse is replacable, my little herbs not so easily, but those lovely old wind break trees, they will be sorely missed by plants and sheep alike.
Ayrshire is awash with wind. Just had the village school on the phone to say they will have to close as their power has gone. While l know Idgy will be thrilled with the unexpected day off l can only keep fingers crossed that we keep our power here or she won't half as happy with the extra time. Wonder if she can be talked into helping me clear the mess in the garden? I guess school would be preferable to that one.
Oh well, there is nothing for it but to head back outside and start clearing up.....
