not nice weather due from DEC 31 -Jan 5 very heavy rain possible wind up 80 mph with flooding not what the south east needs at the moment
Suffice to say that I'm glad I don't have to face going back to that hill top-based tomato greenhouse at Farthing Common on that Monday now that I'm out of the horticulture game - assuming I could actually get there without getting blown off my motobike. Trying to carry on working under glass and hearing all the creaking and groaning sound while thinking about my poor home getting battered by that same southerly gale wasn't much fun.
I've always wondered why on Earth anyone thought it was it a good idea to build a large 4-arce greenhouse establishment on what is at a very exposed place at 400 feet above sea level and on the side of a south-west facing hill side. Even if it wasn't blowing a gale, it was often shrouded in low cloud thus was often foggy and damp . And of course, when it snowed . . . boy, we got to know about that - especially since the north-east flank faces miles and miles of rolling hills.
No wonder why the establishment had struggled for most of the time and then closed up towards the end.
In the meantime, indeed, a very unsettled week faces us, as if you're not aware of that.
But I do find it strange how we can still get gale force winds while the air pressure hovers around 1005 mb all day tomorrow - only in the UK can that happen.
