I woke up about 4am due to the gale, which was causing the side gate to creak. Just as well, as I went out to sort it I noticed a dark shadow in the middle of the road - it was my paper box which also had the waste food bin standing in it!
There was quite a lot of wind last night but thankfully no damage. It’s conveniently blown the humongous amount of leaves into convenient piles but I’m going to wait before clearing them as the recycling centre will no doubt be closed from Thursday. I guess it’ll mean heaps of bags being stored until they re-open.
The big pile at the front door this morning have been cleared though.
Not a whisper of wind and no coat needed for working in the garden this afternoon, really enjoyable. Lots of tidying up achieved and the bin filled with another load of leaves.
