Rock-a-bye baby…
What? Talking about the weather again?
As I said spectacular weather is more interesting than the general day to day movements of atmospheric precipitation. And today we had strong winds.
I had to go to Leeds, to mix down the effects track on Babbling Fools, and my route was littered with tumbling wheelie bins, broken branches and Montgolfier carrier bags. No lorries were blown over on the motorway, even though my van was being buffeted about on the more exposed sections.
Then when I arrived in Leeds I found the wind had played havoc with an eight-foot Victorian retaining wall. The trees were close to the wall and were being rocked by the strong gusts until they pushed the wall over.
What was amazing was that there were cars parked all the way up the street on both sides, except in the exact area where the wall tumbled. Had there been a car there it would have been well dented.
mind you some stones got rather close:

.........I don't want to be part of a weather conversation but I have to say it took British Rail 7 hours to get me to Convert Garden because of a little extra rain,its not that we haven't had plenty of practise in this country with the FLIPPING RAIN ! Why can't we cope ?? Phew, rant over Ha HA
On a positive note I did meet some interesting people on that train one that even knew you John !
See ya soon Paula x

And it's STILL windy here in Leeds. Just mentioning it. Proving I'm British. If it's not windy tomorrow, I'll be able to discuss that too.
