"No overnight parking, no overnight parking"

Storm Eunice has let us off fairly lightly, though we have had one small tree keel over in the garden. When I was on the front, an hour or more before High Tide, the estuary was filling up rapidly.  The black-headed gulls were enjoying shooting the breeze, occasionally landing near the cars in expectation of handouts.  Just before this was taken there was a torrential shower of rain with a small amount of hail mixed in.  Heading back up the hill, the garden was covered in hail stones - amazing the difference that a couple of hundred feet of altitude gain from the coast makes.  Plants in our garden always flower a little later than those at the bottom of the hill - because we have a cooler climate.

Back at home we had a productive day, with the campaign to sort out our chimney damp issues taking a significant step forwards.
