79mph winds at Aberdaron - Steve and family still marooned - but in England!

Steve, Emma and Connor are still in Lancashire, watching the weather forecast to see when the gales abate and they can be carried back to the island by boat. Storm Kirsten is approaching the UK and if you want to watch the progress have a look at bbfo.org.uk and at the bottom of the first page you will find the weather forecast for seven days ahead.

Logging on to: http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm will show you the Atlantic Chart and the depressions and wind strengths and directions.

Why are the British so interested in the weather, I wonder? I hear you reply "because we are surrounded by water and our weather is ever changing", particularly in the Irish Sea.

Frogs have spawned in my garden pond and the first male smooth newt is around.
