To be honest this morning was a bit like ‘wind… what wind?’ Yesterday I could hardly stand and today I couldn’t have flown a kite. My good lady took this photo when she was out with the dog.

We got off easy.

Power kept on, but the other side of the hill was off. Funnily enough anywhere that had their power poles replaced due to being destroyed last winter were fine this time.

To our knowledge the worst that happened to our place was that the bin lid fell off and we lost a strip of felt off the pony shed.

My colleague lost their hen house and pigsty roof, oh and this was the Shetland hotel!

The road on the other side was closed for ages as the fire brigade had to assess the building to ensure it wasn’t going to fall down.

From what I remember strongest gust was 89 mph yesterday.
