Coping with Severe Weather: A Personal Account

Hanging on!

It’s not fit for man or beast today, and the streets are deserted.

Keeping warm is also a major concern. The wind is finding its way through all the gaps in this ancient building, howling around like an angry animal. This awful sound causes backbones to shrivel and shrink, and we worry about anything that isn’t tied down. Last night, the different sound of a chainsaw rose above the madly rushing wind as some threat to the main road was removed.

I fear for my bonsai, too, as they are completely at the storm’s mercy. So far, only one has been viciously thrown to the floor. One of the trees in our back garden has very brittle branches and often drops a branch even when it’s not windy, so I dread venturing out to see the damage.

My head is still in turmoil, too. The constant head and earache forbid sensible thought. This storm is set to last a few more days, so we are curling up, keeping warm and hoping the roof stays on!

We hope the weather is kinder where you are! 💖💖

    We are blessed, weather wise, and for this I am grateful. Sending calming energies to Mother Nature, in the hopes that she will relax and allow you to do the same! xx

    Your part of the country seems to be getting the worst of the storm. Here it’s very windy and cold, but not as bad as you’re getting it. Stay indoors and keep warm is the order of the day.

    I hope that tree hangs on to its branches!

    Keep warm and safe.

      That olive bonsai is on a lower shelf now, so much safer… as for going out, we have no plans for that yet…
