Have we got a good morning Easter Monday?

one tree down so far - daffodils surviving just

I was woken in the night by the very bright moon shining in to my (curtainless) window. Today in eastern Scotland it is bright and sunny and no wind. Good luck to all those further south in the grip of Katie.

Good morning to you Clare

Actually in Hazel Grove.

Fine here in our part of Cheshire. Very wet and windy overnight, but this morning it's just cloudy with light wind.

Not too bad in South Yorkshire - blowing a bit, but maybe it hasn't reached us yet. We had hailstones as big as marbles yesterday teatime and had to vacate the conservatory as conversation was impossible and anyway I completely got the jitters! GS thought it was terrific - "They're dancing on the lawn, Nanny" he said. I was more concerned about them dancing on the roof! He is off to London today with his parents - weather not too good down there it seems! I hope they have a safe couple of days.

Grr... woke to wind, rain, sleet and a covering of the white stuff. No mention of the West Midlands being affected this way in all weather warnings I've seen. Do we not exist, meteorologically speaking?

Morning, all...

Very windy, wet and noisy night here in Norfolk! One fence panel demolished, but that is all the damage. Electricity went off about 2.30 am for about 3 hours, now resetting all the electric clocks, central heating etc. Should die down during morning says the weather forecast,!!!

Good late morning. Slept well last night and was only vaguely aware of it raining. Here in North Somerset it's a fairly good day. OH is just getting ready to go out for a 10 mile run! Me, an easy day at home and a trip to coffee shop

Well we really couldn't believe it, but at 8.15 this morning... and for about 10 minutes... there were flurries of snow in our little Northamptonshire village !

Thought we were seeing things, but neighbours saw the snow flakes too !

Happy Easter everyone !

From all the reports on local radio, we appear to have been quite lucky where we are. Certainly heavy rain and strong winds overnight, but personally, the rather rickety fences are still standing, and I do not think the rain penetrated the garage, not looked yet. Now, the sun is shining with a nice wind blowing so decided to do the washing - sure to rain. Enjoy your days.

We've had lots of rain over last few days, but it never stops raining in Rochdale, so nothing new - today went out in buckets pouring from heavens, with brilliant sunshine at the same time. Now dry but grey and depressing!

Oops. Just been outside & we seem to have losr 90% of 6' fence running between us & house next door. 8 x 6' fence panels.
Luckily they missed 3 cars on drive. Expensive night for us.

Woke to icy snow in Staffordshire. All gone now but very windy and raining, too.

Started the day with a power cut in my part of N.Kent - lasted a couple of hours. The sun shining brightly now and the winds are dying down - the fence has taken a pounding, but hopefully the worst is over.

Sunshine here now, so washing machine is on.

Having the family over for an Easter roast chicken dinner after they've spent the weekend decorating a bigger bedroom for Willow now that she's moved out of the cot into a wee bed.

Good morning to all from breezy Somerset. Gosh the winds in the night were wild. Thankfully much lighter now and we've been out and walked the dog with no mishaps! Retrieved the empty trugs we forgot to put away yesterday and will stay in now reading gransnet!

Howling wind and rain all night here in Kent but wind now dying down a bit and sun out. Garden fence down and flower pots rolling around o'h dear.

Hi everyone, this is my first post although have been a "member" for some time. Well in deepest Kent we woke to a power cut and trees down blocking lanes! Luckily don't need to travel anywhere today. Fortunately power only off for about 3hrs and could still make a cuppa as have gas hob!

Welcome Tallulah2. I so enjoy hearing everyone's contributions. Esp today hearing from different parts of the country too. Wonder how many there are abroad? Isn't the Internet wonderful? I just love it. Just spoken to a friend in Bexhill, sun is out now there after a wild night, and following conversation have just ordered a one handled tray for £15 from Coopers she told me about. The ones in our local chemist are about £30. All done and dusted while sitting having a coffee.

And I still have my school French pen friend. The other day our youngest DD Texted me to ask which was a mobile number in France so, to be sure, I emailed Claudine who replied straight away. So within about 10 minutes messages had gone from Yorkshire via Staffs to France and back again. Absolutely brilliant isn't it?
My posts always seem to be long-sorry about that. I trained as a touch typist (in French too!) years ago and, as I can type as fast as I can speak, I can go on forever.?

Sussex coast. We were woken by really violent winds. Some trees down and roads closed. Glad we have no plans to venture out today A game of UpWords perhaps.

Hi windy and rain overnight overcast but dry at moment in West Yorkshire no damage son in Lancashire said they had hail yesterday which covered roads looked like it had been snowing at least it's not snowing ?⛈❄️☔️

Wild and windy West Sussex. Have ignored the fact that we are now semi open plan with our neighbour as part of the fence down and gone for a blustery but beautiful walk on the beach. Hubby now out doing a fix it job! Good man!

Hello AnneSixty in Hazel Grove. That's where I hail from! In Kent now, and I think we have been at the edge, though as someone said, we are having four seasons over the weekend. Yesterday it was rainy, grey, cold and windy, this morning is brilliant sunshine and still high winds, but quite warm. So much so that I have hung out washing, with plenty of pegs. No damage here. Our trees went over a couple of winters ago, and since then, I have had the really tall ones pruned down, and the wobbly ones taken out. I miss them, but it's nice not to have to worry every time there is a high wind ?
