Storm Eunice continues!

 Happy to be out of the wild winds lulled us into a false sense of security! An afternoon walk was hopefully going to keep me awake but there was more excitement to come because at 5pm the power went out! Luckily there is a wood burner here so that was blazing away and luckily it was also able to heat our dinner! My sister was even able to boil the potatoes on top of the wood burner and dinner was very 'romantic' as we were dining by candlelight. Power was restored at 8pm.

After a rainy start to the day we decided to go to Worcester - I needed my Marks and Sparks fix after missing out yesterday! I did start to brighten up so we decided to take a long walk. The river was in flood - the only ones enjoying it were the swans!

note the rail for the steps down to the river!

  

All the playing fields were lakes and we had to manoeuvre around a couple of fallen trees. As usual there was a need to photograph me in awkward positions.

 

Good thing I'm so athletic😅😅

 A little shopping completed we headed home! A soak in the hot tub later rounded off the day!

Sunday started rainy but we saw an opportunity to get out and about so headed down the lanes to see the spring flowers making and appearance - there were snowdrops, daffodils, crocus and primroses. 

 Further into our walk the wind picked up and the way some of the trees were swying was enough to give me a burst of speed (?) up the hills! Passing the Old Mill house you gained a perspective on how much water was powering along!

 We made it back home just before a torrential rain storm.

Today I have woken to the arrival of Storm Franklin! At this rate we'll soon be up to Storm Lesley!!
