the wind whistled round our house early this morning waking me up ,we have a gate to the side of the house and the kids leave it open so when its windy it suddenly slams open and shut ,now i have gone outside in the dark with my torch dressed in wellies and dressing gown, hair standing up in the wind but as i frightened the neighbours dogs so much they barked and howled, and frightened me too,but that will not be ever repeated,so i just lay in bed listening to the gate

its not too bad now,i went to town and forgot my coat,but it looks stormy overhead at this minute,and so my river will be back outside my door later on i expect,
