Did we survive Storm Éowyn?

After losing our polytunnel in a named storm in December 2023 I get a bit nervous when we get hit by storms.  So it was with great trepidation that I headed to the allotment this morning to survey the damage!  

Walking along the entrance track I noticed a few plots had some visible damage, but nothing too serious.   Thankfully, when I got to our plots they were both exactly as I'd left them on Thursday - the only sign that there had been a storm at all was my wheelbarrow had moved a few feet.  Phew!   We got away with it - this time.

After having a celebratory cup of coffee in the shed, I took advantage of what has turned out to be a beautiful sunny day and got stuck into a few jobs that needed doing.  As always, a few hours spent working on the plots was most enjoyable.
