Latest Storm South East England

Wow, delighted to be receiving donations for our scoot along the Thames for the Red Cross Disaster Fund. We are now starting to see donations from people beyond family and friends which is very exciting. It is very encouraging, and I think we cannot give up now. If the weather is OK on Sunday we will head out and try to continue. Am hoping that in the following weeks we may be able to ferry some supplies out that could be useful to people who have lost their belongings along the Thames.

As I write gale force winds are shaking the entire building we are in. The glass in our windows, and floor is reverberating despite its concrete base. Just getting concerned because the entire structure is beginning to move and the trees outside are moving from near the base of their trunks. We are in the Heathrow flight path, and apparently planes are being diverted or delayed from landing at Heathrow.

It is quite frightening because you cannot be sure how much wind a building like this can withstand, and at what point you should do something. Probably time for a cup of tea!
