Wet and windy but not too cold here, but that's what you'd expect in Brittany ! Yesterday was very windy with hail. The fields around us are full of puddles - serves them right for filling in the ditches.
Gusty winds and it's absolutely chucking it down so far today. I expect there'll still be a drought next Summer though (that's assuming we do get a Summer next year )

And ripping out trees! We and neighbours opposed a planning application years ago in a flat area where the Mole and Thames (+ underground watercourses) ran. In the course of the hearing, we learned that one mature tree will drink up to 100 gallons of rainwater a day. Go figure - it's trees we must campaign for.
The farmer who owns the land behind us has ripped up all the hedges and cut down the trees this year. We asked the Maire a while ago if there was any was of stopping it and he said that it was on private land .... Then someone else at the Mairie said there was a scheme for replanting Unbelievable. All the Mairie can do is brag about how much agriculture there is in the commune and anything outside the bourg is of little interest .... apart from agriculture ... At least the shore and its birdlife is protected from development and the chasse.
Following last weeks Storm Arwen we now have Storm Barra
Wet and increasingly windy here but apparently worse elsewhere I think my Christmas shopping day has become lie on the settee day
Drop in for a natter about anything French related.
