... your diesel car is only managing 28mpg at 65mph in top gear on a level motorway...

Who would have thought an 80mph headwind would make such a difference

Not surprised tbh, but not good much damage done?

Hollow tubes are best filled with expanding foam makes them almost bombproof...

your bin is halfway down the street and it's magically emptied itself with the contents nowhere to be found

Nope, got off lightly tbh. It's fallen away from the fence/garden so no other damage. It was an oak tree so it will save the acorns landing in their plastic shed roof in autumn, used to make a right racket.

Get in touch with the local council, that's recycling at its finest.

Now THAT is a good idea

I spent all day Thursday and then Friday morning clearing 21 , circa 100 year old Pine trees of between 20 to 24 inch diameter trunks from a 2 mile private road into a Castle here .
There is a second access road and after walking 75 yards down it I came across a fall of 20 trees lying on and against each other making it totally impossible even to try and crawl through them . God knows how many are down beyond that mass.
I can only describe it as if a large plane cut a swathe through the forest as it crash landed .
The ferocity of the storm winds on Wednesday was unprecedented down here and believe me they have experienced some storms from the South Atlantic approaches in the past. 
To cap it all there is a deep covering of snow on the mountains this morning .

That reminds me of my first car with a slipping clutch! The A40 almost used to go backwards!

Just lost a tile off the side of the upstairs bay windows. But I also noticed some damp patches on the exposed side of the garage roof. That is two flat roofs that are going to need doing in the summer and being realistic where the back bay felt is the same age as the garage, it means all 3 roofs need doing. Time to invest in a 2nd hand tar heater me thinks, so me and the son in law can do them between us.

I had to recover one of my wheelie bins. Fortunately, it blew it away from the car
