Last night brought the first really strong winds of the year together with a lot of rain. Since Gérard fitted the new roof to the hanger and, most importantly, the new guttering system, the rain that used to wash off the roof onto the tarmac above the house has been ducted via Kevin's drain system and deposited way down the field. All this water together with its associated silt used to end up in the pond, now the pond still fills up to its overflow level but the tell-tale muddy stain at the inlet pipe is missing.
No major damage sustained in the wind but the tomato house which was scheduled to be taken down and disposed of has been taken down rather ahead of schedule.
The rain let off at lunchtime, we got our delayed walk in and - as often seems to happen here - the sunset was spectacular.
