Hope its not too bad Dave,

I hid as best I could my pots against a brick shed in the back. I then bagged any flowers like my new Lillies till its calmer.

I had the rather unfortunate experience of flying back into Blackpool at 1.15 yesterday afternoon, everyone on the plane was holding on for dear life as we swayed over the runway.

I also picked the worst weekend possible to erect an argos plastic greenhouse. It has had a constant battering all last week and I`ve returned from a weekend away to find three gravel trays of seedlings fallen off the shelf. Fortunately I think I managed to save most of them with only minor damge to the bigger plants standing on the floor

Blackpool has an airport!?! Never knew that!

Or did it use the beach as a runway?

That sums it up really..... stormy and mild or settled, with chilly nights.... can't win

we noticed that last night too,was looking at the reflecting in the full moon thinking,'is that somewhere warmer reflecting off there?'
as a matter of interest,where is it we see when the moon does this?
