Evening all! Well! @swampwitch0, I sadly wasn’t too safe in the stormy weather, in the end! My nearest town was knocked out already, early last week with both 02/vodafone mast going down.. then, an as far unidentified worker allegedly sawed through the towns WiFi cable ( or whatever it is called!!), so , being on O2, I was stressed as was off grid… but, then…. as the winds picked up…. on Friday eve, we had a couple of power cuts, nothing remotely out of usual, I started heading out of the kitchen to get something, looked out of the front of the house ( old farmhouse so “quirky” layout) which is glass, and shouted to DH “ hey, forget the power cuts, amazing fireworks!!!”🎇.. till my brain kicked in and I realised they were in my garden…. And not fireworks! Pretty impressive display, tho!! A couple of my trees had branches down and couple of wires were sparking off and shooting everywhere and welding to each other and creating pretty amazing display as the whole garden was kept being floodlit! But, the 🚒 was very quick and our house was prevented from being razed to the ground! So, all good!!! And, we are back on grid and back to normal!
And, the coolest thing about the whole drama for DS?? Obvs the blue lights all over and fireworks lighting the pitch black up ( no street lights here, even when no power cuts) but DS19 was super gutted and jealous as at Uni, so “ big bro” was missing out….. AND!, he was chatting to one of the firemen, who, it transpired, did his course a few years ago! 😺
So! I need to read, to catch up with all your goss!! Hope you guys are all well?!
