Further reports seem to suggest that a woman lost her life when she was struck by a chair coming off a roof garden, near Costa and M&S in the midlands somewhere.

If you have adequate warning of such events as Doris, do you not secure all outside tables and chairs?

It was part of a roof according to BBC news

We were there in our van on Thursday. Bit windy but did not see any real damage. THe site was fairly sheltered. Yes windy (94mph)and very wet. Can recall  worst conditions above Loch Tollie by  Gairloch  two years ago. Just been fishing and wilding on the exposed tops. That was scary.

No doubt Carol will go to bed and I will stay up later on storm watch!  I'm quite happy with that - I'm not good at sleeping generally! smile
