Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 it was really windy here last night and this morning, as the sun is coming up I think it's calming down but I didn't want to let them out this morning to this awful weather. The conservatory roof is creaking and I keep thinking it's going to blow off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 It's awful here too. I've got a charity bag outside the front door waiting for collection and the rustling is driving me bananas ! The girls won't like the wind whistling round their fluffy knickers when i let them out either, poor dears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Not much fun then Martin? Horrible here as well - Carl's been out collecting anything which wasn't nailed down We've had to take the hanging baskets down this morning before they broke the brackets off.

Christian Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It's 8.05 and still dark here. Been out to 'release' the girls. Shot out of the one eglu like a chicken cannon. I'm convinced its darker than it was 10 mins ago! At least I didn't get blown over like yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I daren't let mine out until the sun is well and truly up.....Monsieur Renard may not have clocked off yet round here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I am usually the same Egluntine. I wait until the security light no longer switches on. This morning when I let them out it was off, by the time I got back to the house it was on again! Lucky here as have never seen evidence of a fox *touches wood* but it is a risk I know. Deep joy, the rain has started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
