Just been down to West Shore with Fester, what a mess the place looks - photos to follow when I get back home. Almost impossible to walk there with so much sand blowing about.

You've got more guts than me Dave, I was there about 2.00 pm but I didn't even open the car window this time. The sand wasn't blowing as bad as yesterday possibly because it was raining and therefore the sand was heavier but what a mess!
I noticed that there are mini sand hills on the old Loretta Tennis Courts now.   I'm looking forward to seeing your photos just to see how bad it is after the storms

The pictures don't do justice to how horrific the wind was..... it was very difficult to walk... and Dave and I got sandblasted to hell.
I think Dave took a quick Youtube vid which would illustrate the point very well. (If he gets chance to post it)

Did DaveR stay in the car while his personal manservant Fester was sent into the storm to have his photo taken?  $lol$

 :laugh: :laugh:   Well, I think you can tell by the noise of the wind that Dave was out there with me, braving the elements.

But then of course I was required to bring the car round, and chauffeur him home.   L0L    ^*^0

I was along there this evening between 7 and 8 and it seemed that the wind had obviously moderated a bit - it was still fairly windy though. I didn't get out of the car to see!

The swans gathered around Dave and I looking forlorn.... I will feed them tomorrow.  (lots of Xmas cake left)

Hang on a minute???   They have wings, and can fly off in search of food if they want to!!
