I was on holiday in Corfu and found a day or so later thanks to the English papers that we had had a hurricane back in blighty Laughing

Lost a couple of roof slates and the fence blew down, not bad compared to others.

Was talking about it at work and the realization of it being 20 years ago made me feel really old.

Wotcha.

Riding back from the "Jets" rally in Belgium - followed by the "tour of the dams" rally in Germany - was a tad wet and windy to say the least.

Hi

Living in Portsmouth. Did loose a few roof tiles but didn't seem that bad.

All the best
