If you check here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/satpics/latest_IR.html it's showing the satellite image of the bad weather approaching....and it's getting close!!

Yes - but at the moment cannot believe it is coming. It has been such a beautiful day. Blue skies and really quite warm. Washing on the line, blowing in the breeze. But shall get that in soon, don't want it blown all over Bristol ...
Went for a lovely long walk this morning and it was so gorgeous.

Blimey, that's website I'll keep up and watch the progress of that storm, it's massive!

This is spooky, sky is now black passing over

Think it's time to take the dogs out for what might be their last decent walk for the next 24hrs!

We're getting pretty worried too, coz they keep on about it on our local news. We're only 3 miles inland on the South Coast and this is where it's going to be hit worse along with Cornwall. We had the brunt of the 1987 storm and that's a night I will never forget with our trees being flattened everywhere! Next morning it looks like Jurassic Park out there, totally changed the whole landscape. I'm really hoping that won't happen again This will be a good test for our new loft extension too methinks!!! At the moment, it's glorious outside and has been since lunchtime. They said 9 o'clock in the morning for us? I'm right slap bang in the middle of the Southern coastline though.

I might be ringing you Lise to see when it's on it's way and how bad it is then!!

Looks very scary to me. Hope everybody is going to be ok. Its been lovely here this afternoon, calm before the storm?
