All good thanks Jason. Hope everyone on here ok. Just to show you, this is how a local railway station looked on Sunday, theres a canal where tracks should be, can see the roofs of cars in the car park at the end of the video.

Fed up with the strong winds JM :doh:

Garage needs a good clean as does the Capri, but too cold to get out there and get it sorted :(

PS, Meter ok :)

It’s been going on to long this weather I am taxing the Capri next Sunday 1st March and hoping for a sunny dry day . Also I normally have the garden ready to enjoy and the grass cut but it’s so wet outside I will just rip the plants up .

Last time I drove Capri was to Haynes on August 4th! Alot has happened since with house move etc, so looking forward to driving it again when taxed April 1st.

Just gave it a wipe over with Britemax while weather was a little better, all covered now ready for MOT or Weston Super Mare show whichever comes first weather depending.

:cheers:

Weather here is "unseasonable"😁 (its been #ucking pissing down and blowing a gale) since about 5 mins after I planter Di's new spreading elm 🌲 tree .....cant remember ever seeing anything that looked deader ,she has spent the last 3 days lookin out the window at it ( window looks like we got a dog or a toddler in the house ).
We only just made it home on 2nd jan ,from Wanaka ,there were rocks and gravel being washed across the road ½ way down the side of lake Wakatipu ( Queenstown), I think that we were one of the last to get thru .
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

It seems ones was right! We've had a lot of rain and some resultant flooding, but it all seems to be subsiding now.
I hope everybody is staying safe.
