Lesley Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 * Psst.... do you think Martin will be cross with us for hi-jacking Lesley's thread again?* I was reading through your comments, thinking "this is really off topic, I;m going to have to say something!" Oi! - if there's any telling off to do, I can do it! Everyone needs a good laugh - it's healthy - although I'm not sure which I'd rather talk about? - weight?........ or manure?........ hmmmmmm..... Trish - I should have fleece next year (not personally, no ) I think there are some rules to do with the Wool Marketing Board, I'll have to read about it, but then, aren't rules meant to be broken?......... I'll be in trouble again now for leading the youth of this forum astray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 We had a really scary night during the gales on Saturday. We had numerous small power cuts between 1.30am and 4am and then lost power altogether until 1.30 on Sunday lunchtime. There were lots of bumps and bangs from outside and each time the power came back on, there were lots of bleeps from the PC's and telephone. We had Lauren and Jake staying with us - they were upstairs, we were downstairs. Lauren was terrified at one point so we ended up putting mattresses on our bedroom floor and bringing Lauren and Jake to sleep downstairs. The smallholding is on quite an exposed plot and the wind was full on. As soon as it was daylight we ventured out to see what the damage was............ we think we escaped quite well. The metal dustbin was lodged in Jazz's Poo Corner, it was quite dented so had been flung around quite a bit, the pig ark had been trying to make an escape out onto the Fosse Way! and we had one tree down - it landed across the trampoline where Lauren, Jake, Claret's Rosie and Rosie's friend Sally had been playing just a few hours before! All animals were present and correct - all Eglus still in place, I had imagined flying Eglus whilst lying in bed! We did wonder if we'd get any eggs yesterday! Poor Herbie and Barnie! - Claret had brought them back on Saturday afternoon and we put them in with all the other small chicks. There was a bit of pecking to sort out the order but they were coping well, then they had a night like that to put up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 My word! That was a nasty storm. Pleased you and all the animals are all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Wow! That's bad, I guess that you're so exposed on the hilltop there. The wind doesn't get a chance to have a decent run-up at things here in the town - thank goodness. I will show this to Rosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The storms have been pretty bad I am glad that everybody is OK, we found our 12 foot trampoline wedged in the hedge on Sunday morning..............The weather forecast for the rest on the week is pretty bad too so better batten down the hatches Lesley........
