I'm at our little beach cottage today to inspect the house after the storm last week. The house is standing but plenty of damage out on the tip of the peninsula. Roofs ripped off, whole shed blown away, trees uprooted, pretty scary. I'm on mobile broadband which isn't super fast but okay considering some of the masts blew down. Very relieved we didn't lose the house.

I'm glad you didn't have any damage. Your cottage must be in a protected spot.

It's tucked in behind the dunes. Just like the cottage in my Hot series.

I took pics of my husband wading into the river to rescue his wheelbarrow, dressed in corduroy trousers, Ralph Lauren shirt, Gant jacket and wellies. He slipped and got soaking wet but managed to pull out wheelbarrow. When I couldn't pull him out because I was laughing too much and he saw the camera, he said alimony would be puny, except I could keep the kids.

VERY glad to hear the house is intact! Waiting for the picture of the wet-cat spouse.

Just to say I'm back to civilization!
Back to central heating and broadband. After securing everything in case of another blow, we headed home, happy that the beach house is safe.

Phew. Glad you're out of harm's way. Hopefully that's it for the violent weather.

That's a good reason to have a drink.

I bet you are, too. Look in your crystal ball and tell me whether or not I'm having a drink tonight.
