The met office is telling us to expect a good ole storm on Thursday, gut of 70-80mph + are expected over Thurs/Friday with Thursday being the worst.
Im just thankfull the kids are off for a long weekend from tomorrow, we wont be trying to battle the wind & get kids into the car & to school during the gales.
Instead it will just mean feeding everything as usual in the morning & keeping a close eye on the weather, when it looks like the storm is increasing we'll shut the ducks & chooks in, cats in the porch, dog in his kennel. The pigs, being sensible critters, will retire to the huts without encouragement & the sheep & cows to the shelter of the stone dyke, hopefully we'll get time to see that everything gets a good breakfast to help keep them cosy during the expected icy winds & snow showers.

As for us, it'll be a pot of soup or stew cooking slowly on the wood stove & a movie or 3 to help distract the lil kids from how noisy this house is when these wind storms hit.
