This is not turning into a good advert for Wales is it? And personally I was very happy there just couldn’t afford the space I could here!

Uprooting an olive tree! We have strong winds here, but nothing like that! And yes, a lot of people in blogland do seem to have Welsh connections! I'm Welsh, although I've lived a lot of my life in other countries, and my daughter lives in Cardiff. I hope everything has calmed down now - we had an incredibly calm sunny hot day yesterday and wouldn't have believed the storm had happened! chaiselongue’s last blog post..After the storm / après la tempête

I’ve been following the news about the storms in France and Spain with some interest since reading this post – I don’t know how bad you had it but I hope you made it through with no more olive trees uprooted (or any other damage!)

A shame about your peas and beans Corinna, but I agree about Snowdonia. My parents had a cottage up the mountainside opposite Llanberis and I spent all my childhood holidays there. My Dad visited us for Christmas, his first time here, and I told him to "think Wales"! Jan’s last blog post..The Storm's Over

battering seems a bit less as i write at 650m in mallorca. plenty of rooftiles gone just after we had fixed them from last storm.
but my poor flowering peas and broadbeans are flattened. and i still haven’t been able to sow more because its just too muddy. reminds me of living in snowdonia, wales. yes another one!

The winds are pretty still here at the moment -- no Santa Anas or storms off the Pacific. But it is the rainy season so we'll see what happens next week. Dennis the Vizsla’s last blog post..The Monster Revealed
