Just a quick note to say that this afternoon we had a tornado rip through our garden and the farm next door.
It was just like people who are interviewed on the TV say; there was a roaring wind, then all the leaves in the garden were in the air swirling together like ballet dancers, then the bathtub at the bottom of the garden that we use as a water but went up in the air and over the wall into the paddock beyond!
The farm has come off much worse though, with many roof panels being ripped off. Luckily all the livestock and people were ok, but the farmer reckons there is around £10,000 worth of damage to the buildings.
But Mother Natures temper doesn't last long. There is now clear skys and a promise of a lovely sunset!
Must go back to Ram. We are watching a film where Mother Nature also figures highly; The Call of the Wild. I am not sure which I would prefer, a tornado, or a blizzard in the Arctic!

Coo..almost as if they are targeting HEors. The Kensal Rise one earlier this year ripped up one HEing families fence and damaged the roof of another!
Had heard there was a tornado in Cheltenham that day. Was this the same one, I wonder....
Good to hear you are OK but v. sorry about the barns.
Goodness! I didn't know about Cheltenham, but I did hear that around the same time as ours there was something going on in Chippenham High Street!
I wonder if tornados position themselves in order to give us HEers more educational material!
