Well we have been lucky here with Storm Bert.  Just rain and wind!  Rain finally stopped at lunchtime so had to go out for a walk and spotted this Jelly Ear fungi (Auricularia auricula-judae) at Port Carlisle.  Had a lovely chat over a cuppa with my neighbours and even went out for a second walk before it got dark.  Oh and its actually been a lot milder than of late.
