What a Mess

Oh dear Yorkshire, sorry to read this, we`ve have our much needed rain but only a slight wind, nothing you can do whilst its bad, try not to get too upset, you`ll sort it when you can...

Dreadful here but no damage - really feel for you Yorkshire.
Make some rhubarb crumble with the casualties to cheer yourself up!

daughter coming up from the south tomorrow for her birthday, we will have to try and get cleaned up, thanks Lin thanks S/Gram

Oh, Yorkshire, what a shame! This unexpectedly fierce spell of weather has wrecked a lot of gardens, I bet, one way or another. Not that that is any consolation when you are looking at your own precious patch wrecked by it. I really feel for you.
Glad you have a better day to look forward to tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear about the mess you are in Val and hope your daughter arrives safe and sound , we have had some rain but nothing much to speak of , our Hose pipe ban officially started today !

thanks OJ, Amy sorry to hear about the hose pipe ban, I feel for you, hard to believe but we had a house brick on the fleeze over the beans and the gales were that strong the house brick moved by at least 2 ft

Wish I was nearer to offer help Yorkshire but I can only send sympathies.
We started with snow this morning but it had gone by afternoon we now have slight winds which I hope will peter out.

We had no snow but a very cold wind alday, but no damage.

sorry to hear that Yorkshire, i hope things pick up soon for you,,,

Nil desperandum , Yorkshire , it just seems a shame because we had got all prepared for summer prematurely .
It will soon melt .

Oh Dear Yoorkshire you really were badly hit, we had rain and wind all yesterday , then today we have had snow blizards for the first part of the day which then turned to rain and strong winds and oh so cold;0((

Oh Yorkshire, poor you. We've had wild wind and hailstones today but no damage. Just when you thought your garden was safe!!

So sorry to read this Yorks, we are still waiting for the rain. Theres not much you can do till the wind dies down is there, so just calm down and relax. Its such a shame though.

I hope there's less damage than you think. I never do anything much before mid April. You can never rely on the weather.

Im sorry you had all that damage yorks, thats not at all nice ~ i bet you are feeling really fed up.
when are you meeting up with your daughter?

I can just imagine how bad it is,Yorkshire,with you being so high up..I do hope it isn't as bad as you thought...that wind was horrendous,wasn't it ?..don't be worrying about it,just enjoy your time with your daughter..much more important..xx

Sorry to hear of your damage Yorkshire, we had snow too overnight over a foot of the horrid stuff, no wind here though, my cherry tree looked ready to break under the weight of the snow I had to gently shake all my shrubs and trees to free them :o(

thank you everyone, clean up operation today, ready for my daughter to arrive after lunch, at least the sun is shining today and not to cold,

Hope you have a lovely time with your Daughter. Happy Easter.

A lot of of the spring bulbs got flattened and I had to dismantle my garden table after it blew down the garden.It was just the Wallflower's that had took the worst of it. the rest of the plant's are perking up today with the sun but it is still cold here,Hope you havent got too much damage :-)

Hope when you do the tidying up that the plants haven`t suffered too much Yorshire and that your fence panel isn`t actually broken.
Have a good time and enjoy your daughters birthday...

Thanks Cinders , thanks Mavis, thanks Lincs, it looks a lot better now we tidied up, Daughter now on her way thank goodness, start concentrating on cooking the goose and doing a 4 course meal tonight for her birthday.

apart from a flattened fence panel and 3 snapped daffs I have got away really lightly.

It was awful here too the worst thing for me was that we have a solid fuel stove that does the central heating not only was it roaring away in the gale but the coal box kept filling with water and filled every shovelfull.....its under cover but the sleet was horizontal.....yuk!

God so many of you have had it really bad. I know we have a hosepipe ban down here but we have been warned about it & been able to prepare.
I really feel for all of you but I know your gardens will still look fabulous in a month or two.

thanks Seaburn, Pam, willinilli, glad you never got so much damage, it really was bad up here, breaks your heart when you see such a mess, the neighbour has sorted the fence out so that now looks good again
