CATASTROPHE!!

Bob arrived home and straight away worked through his list of jobs.......bless him, all finished by Sunday night we settled down in front of the tele, he had bought me a BIG fleecy dressing gown, raspberry in colour and I was all snuggled in when the wind seemed to get up, it was blowing from the west so was rattling our shutters I decided to close them for the night, Bob had his usual fag after supper stood at the back door watching molls, he remarked that the wind was getting worse...............back to our snuggle on the settee, the rain started. Within 10 minutes a figure loomed at the front door dripping wet.............it was our dutch neighbour " your petite stable has blown into my field"

HELLS BELLS!!! it was our little metal shed trying to escape, the doors had blown open and off it went. We retrieved it from the fence and tree that had stopped it going further and after lashing it to the pickup we could do no more it seemed like a mini hurricane, at some point I thought I had better check the horses they were looking over and were ready for flight but soon ambled back into the shelters to get out of the wind and rain. In the blink of an eye my snugly chill out evening had turned into a catastrophe!

Ooooh errr, it does sound like a catastrophe, glad all ended well!! Someone had obviously done an excellent job of building it for it to stand up to that!! ;-)
