vodka?

Scotty that sounds terrible!!  Hope it doesn't get any worse!

With ice 

the way your weathers acting-you might be getting some ice soon!

It was a bit scary Ells but it`s stopped now. The temporary fix has done the trick. Scaffolding going up on Monday to fix the roof properly.

  Might be skiing to the shops the morra.

Stay safe Scotty 

joking aside

it sounds dodgy

keep your tin hat on

I will, thanks Aimee 

What a wonderful photograph.

The wind and rain are getting up here is Sheffield.

Glad I don't need to go out until Monday. Probably will though.

I will, thanks pirate    It`s calming down now. 

Anyune watching the flooding in coastal areas on the news. Did you see the pictures of the front in Troon? I was walking along there just a few weeks ago - with my coat off as it was so warm. Also I climbed that hill - if the weather then had been like it was as shown now, I doubt I'd be sitting here typing this now!

OK here, although there was a stormy interval this morning...there are 4 rivers quite near Thames,Imber,Mole and Wey and all have burst their banks

That ^is the putting green at Largs . 

'Come on kids, let's take a little walk on the sea wall to see what Mother Nature has unleashed'....

I mean really! Why? It's like those people who like testing car braking systems by pushing a baby in a buggy straight in to road in front of them when the red man is still displayed at the crossing.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhjeez.. not wise at  all .

Nah, they were very lucky. Wonder if the kids will see it as an invigorating and life-affirming trip out.

I was flinching at the first pic  with the wee one walking on ahead alone.. had to do a head count when I scrolled down ! Hard to believe .

I know! I read the story practically through my fingers! They are going to get some stick when school opens next week on the school run, and they deserve it!

Jeezo - what idiots.      There was a wee boy washed away through a hole in the sea wall a couple of years ago near here - by a freak wave that came over the wall and pulled him through.   It wasn't even during 'dangerous' weather.   To take kids deliberately into the path of that sea beggars belief.   

I wouldn't be surprised to hear of calls to have their kids taken away from them - showing that level of irresponsibility!

It's all pretty calm here in Sheffield.

Home now.. didn't realise how bad it had been down the hill till I was heading for the ferry - there's huge chunks of driftwood, bits of wall etc all over the road in Millport , and more sand on the pavements than on the beach! Crazy high tide again today . Largs is a mess too , the road has been churned up when the sea breached the defences . 

Glad you are home and safe.

Glad you made it back safe, Slinks 

Sounds like it might have been more hazardous getting to and from the ferry ports, than the ferry crossing!

Ta folks ! Yep. fluffs, the roads were a real state . Ferries were off yesterday too , so lots of people picking their way through the flotsam and jetsam trying to get to where they needed to be today
