Max gust of 47mph in Buxton early this morning, more noticeable was the squall and ongoing temperature drop of -2'c p/h as it passed over.

[itsnowjoke]

Winds died down still blustery

[iand61]

Horrible couple of days.

i can’t wait until I can see the back garden in the daylight and whether the annual expense in new panels has started early

[Miamay]

Dreadful day. Windy with heavy showers. Can still hear the wind gusting outside at times. 

[itsnowjoke]

It's hailstoning

[Mokidugway]

Hailing taxis here ,fx4 cab from 20,000 ft makes one hell of a mess

Thought I could have worded that a bit better.

Ones enough for me as well, the other one keeps threatening to get a place of her own but knows that there’s a big difference between paying a bit of board and a lot of mortgage.

Oh she’s done the uni bit, graduated and is well into her career now but I don’t blame her for not rushing into her own place.

i wouldn’t like to start on the property ladder with prices like they are now

Our first one was £13500, only a 2 bed terrace and it was in 1985 but for about 4K more we could have had a 3 bed semi.

how times have changed although we did sell it less than 4 years later for almost 30k so looking back we must have bought just at the right time.

It must be a decent place mate.

We’re not in that league by a long way but the house we bought 23 years ago for 40k  is now paid off so whatever it’s worth is now all ours.

also it’s hopefully got the added retirement bonus of a back garden big enough to stick a decent size property on.

Sounds nice and a decent part of the world.

i always fancied getting hold of an old farm property and doing it up but but most have been snapped up around these parts and what’s left go for an absolute fortune now.

Being only 20 miles from Manchester and up in the hills,  most around here were bought by the “a place in the country” set long before the programme ever started although in fairness, some have been turned into beautiful looking homes.

Aye from here it’s downhill all the way, even the stream at the bottom of my garden ends up in Manchester.

Just a shame I can’t go by canoe as the M66 is a nightmare most of the time.
