Whatever the weather
So, unless you’ve been under a rock ( probably sensible in this weather!) you’ll have noticed that todays been slightly, blustery! I imagine you’ve all seen reports of trees and powerlines being blown over, of trains cancelled, of Volcanic Ash being blown our way! I had a run on with a blown down tree that … Continue reading
