Wowsers! That was some weekend. Power went off at 6:30 on Thursday evening and has just been turned on at 7:30 on Sunday evening. But we also have no water since Saturday! Which is hideous.  Thankfully all the family are safe and so are our houses. We have lost all our fence and lots of ceramic pots and mum lost her greenhouse but nothing else luckily. Some people had their windows blown in. 
A massive fir tree came down at the top of the village which was quite a sight, luckily no one hurt. It was a very frightening experience, the noise was awful, except the eye of the storm which was eerily quiet and still. Not an experience I want to repeat.  Hope everyone else is safe and well. 

Good here you and your homes are all safe.

Is your water supply back yet zigzag? Really hope so it is miserable trying to cope with bottles.

Kent County Council have today declared a 'major incident' - so many across the county without water, I feel so sorry for them...<touch wood> no problem here this time

Our water came back on Saturday just before they delivered bottles! Then it’s been a bit intermittent as they get all the repairs sorted. But just had an automated message to say they are closing the bottled water collection points, so guess it’s all sorted now. I was prepared for the power cut but not for the water disruption! It’s the last thing you think of in a storm. But very grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to get it sorted.  My son’s power has only just been restored in the last hour. So that’s such a long time to be off.
