It's been an interesting few days here in the UK, especially today when we experienced very high winds.

Luckily, due to some preparation on my part, my property has survived. Why do some people not think ahead and place their wheelie bins in a sheltered spot so that they're not spilling their contents over the gardens. More important, ensuring they don't blow into the road.

Special mention to all the emergency workers who've earned their pay today. Likewise, all the commercial pilots who's training has ensured that everyone's arrived safely at airports. As my two pilot friends would say, "it's all in a day's work".
