I live in Bristol in South West England. Storm Eunice is paying us a visit.
‘Red warnings’ have been issued by the Meteorological Office, the national weather service of the UK.
PupperJack and I have been out and put everything movable down the side of the house.
My extremely tall eucalyptus tree out the front might suffer a bit but I have every confidence that we’ll be fine, even if a bit spooked by the sound of the wind around the houses — it has a completely different sound in the city than when it’s blowing around the countryside.
In the city, the wind she moans and groans; in the countryside, she shrieks with glee. In the city we cower behind walls to protect our bones; in the country, we fly with the storm (but avoid that old creaky tree).
Stay safe!
