A proper freeze this morning, the bin lorry has broken down outside our house, the workers are all huddled in the cab awaiting rescue, my neighbour has kindly offered a flask of hot something! The clouds have gathered hoping to see a couple of flakes falling … It’s the Christmas tree lighting and mulled wine event at the village hall this evening, be nice to have season cold crisp weather for a change!

It’s grim isn’t it,? I drove to Canterbury this morning and the road out from Icklesham to Winchelsea was as bad as I have ever known for flood water . My weather station has bust so can’t measure the rain but pretty sure it’s under the ‘lots of’ category! I also just noticed the amber warning pop up not filled me with joy. Mind you my friend living in Guernsey is having a terrible time with a fireman having to pump water from the front of her property, she is right on the seafront and the pictures of the sea crashing over on to the road are quite something.

This pic sums the day up really, such a shame people put so much effort into the planning of the fete, I think the wind was the deciding factor, flying gazebo’s and an airborne bouncy castle are an ‘elf and safety’ nightmare! Anyhow the flower show in the hall is going ahead, it’s busy with people looking at the entries and scoffing tea and cake with gay abandon! Hoping to run the fete in September instead so let’s pray for an Indian summer .

I think we’ve been relatively fortunate in our little corner of East Sussex, it was dry and fairly reasonable until early afternoon. I rang for a wedding in Iden, at precisely 2pm when the bride stepped out of the car the wind picked up and it started piddling down I felt so sorry for her… good old British weather! Fast forward a few hours and the drizzle has set in, it’s damp and miserable, more suitable for late autumn .

Personally I am enjoying this quiet spell of dry weather, very user friendly! i was over your neck of the woods @alexisj9 today. A drive to Folkestone and then train to Dover, a lovely walk back along the England Coast Path and part of the North Downs way, that took us up Western Heights , Shakespeare cliff, to the Battle of Britain Memorial for a welcome cuppa, and a weary trudge through Folkestone back to the car.
