Though we had a couple of bad ones in 1986 and 1987, i remember trees through houses and sunken boats on the Thames.
And Seven Oaks became One Oak, overnight.:(
I remember that. We were in the middle of it. Sevenoaks did indeed lose its oaks.

Embarrassingly we slept through it. I remember a window banging. The next day the weather was beautiful, but it was a scene of devastation outside; personally we were very lucky. My brother in law was a tree specialist at Box Hill and was incredibly upset by the destruction of the landscape.

Hi guys :(

Just got some awful news. An old friend of mine was hit by a car a couple days ago. He is pretty smashed up and lost his front teeth and has a broken shoulder. He broke the windshield as he hit it.

I haven't spoken to him in quite a while but I still care for him. It was a big shock.
Thankfully he hasn't got any life threatening injuries.

Good morning to you.

That's really awful for your friend. :(
Hopefully he will recover quickly.

How are you doing?

Yes I remember that too we're down in Kent and the devastation was bad! My mum had a caravan on a site and the one behind us had literally lifted up over the top of us and smashed into the one infront of us is was horrific!

I'm fine thanks. Looking forward to gymnastics next week.

How are you?
Have you been practicing through the summer, or might the first week back be hard work?

Not too bad back here. It's always a shame when the summer comes to an end. Our children may have left school now, but the new school year always tells you winter is on its way!

Our daughter will be 23 next month. She went out for a Chinese with her 20 year old brother and JoesDad while I was away last week and was very annoyed that she got asked by the waitress when she was going back to school.

Her brother thought it hilarious, naturally :D At 6'6" he hardly ever gets IDed; people strain to see up as far as his face and assume he's old enough for everything. Our daughter is 5'7" - not short - but just looks young... and it's really annoying her right now!

Haha. I went to a shop and got asked when I was going back to school... Ruined my whole summer. It should be a law that people can't mention school. I'm very short so people still get me mixed up with the new year 7's at school!

As for gymnastics... I've been doing loads at home but not conditioning so it will be hard when I get back but I'm still looking forward to it :)

Morning, Linda. :)
I was in Kingston-on-Thames and was playing a board game.
The electricity went out and we continued by candlelight until we heard the winds and crashing sounds.
Opening the back door caused a through draft and the whole porch vanished down the alley next to the house!
The next morning we walked along the river bank to the university bar amazed at the devastation as we went. The bar was closed :(, so we walked back again.

Horrible as it may be, he survived and I'm guessing he's young, so should make a full and speedy recovery. A couple of false teeth, no problem.
I hate cars.
How are you ?

She'll be glad of it in a few years time!
I would have laughed, too.
