    FCC now saying no trains until further notice, didn't seem particuarly windy out of the normal here although there are reports of tiles of roofs and trees down in St Albans.
    I think....

    I am trying to work out whether I should drive home today, or leave it to tomorrow. I see no problems in driving today as it'd be all main roads.

    Well, after a good look around here just looks like a normal storm damage. Nothing worthy of hoohah here at all. Most annoying thing is that we will need a fencer in to fix the fence which we normally repair because the posts have snapped and they at concreted in. :(


    I really wish we could afford to put a wall along there now...in fact...I've just has an amazing idea.....

    Was the fence insured...if the quote to repair it was extremely expensive might it pay for most of a wall?!

    Network rail reporting that they sent trains to investigate whether any trees were on the line and four of those trains hit trees. Geniuses.

    Replace a 'cheap' panel fence with a wall? Doubt it:(

    Hope all is well. I'm guessing from the griping and moaning that you're a fine!

    We've got a few cooler days forecast which is good for the firemen and a bit nicer to ride in too.

    Well it is one way of checking.....

    I should really go in to the St Albans office but there isn't really anything I can do there so I will stay here for a bit looking at FCC updates.
