Storms Ciara and Dennis have brought high winds and much rain to the UK. As I write this, Dennis is raging war in my Hertfordshire garden, and the noise of wind and rain is quite menacing. Last weekend, I was both admiring and fearing Ciara, as she tormented Scotland.
The river has burst its banks in Callander, 9 February 2020
Kayakers are looking forward to a wider river and more challenges than normal
The following day, the ducks were relishing their expanded territory, and the humans had given up any idea of a picnic on the benches.

Sad sights! There are no floods here, but storms oh yes! Last night I had hard time sleeping due to the stormy wind – again. It seems that along with the climate chnge the storms get more frequent.

Sorry for such stormy weather, and hope they will move on soon! This looks quite bad:( and thank you for keeping us up to date at All Seasons with how the UK fares. Stay safe and warm coming week!

Thanks Jesh. I’m back home now and it’s not too bad here. Back in Scotland at the end of this week so I may have more wet photos for next All Seasons 🙂

Living near a river really makes you understand the life of floods. Snow pack above us has already given us a potential of major flooding when it starts to melt. Be safe.

Our fence is down! Other than that, I loved the sound of the storm when falling asleep! Sounds weird but somehow relaxing 😌

I like it too – I sleep in the loft which means it is extra loud, and last night I did wonder if the roof might be swept away while i slept

Flooded lands make interesting photos, but cause so much misery to residents. The ducks do look happy though 😀
