Respect to all, be kind to all and you shall reap what you sow.

It's been blowing a hooligan since yesterday afternoon here but to date no rain except a few sprinkles. Despite that I've spent about three and a half hours on the allotment tidying up compost heaps (thank heavens that job is done till it's time to move them this time next year). It wasn't a cold wind and I'd got cabin fever staying in during the foot deep frost.

nod nod - thats what i worry about too - but we've had the rain and blowing a hoolie here in wilts and tis not too heavy yet - hoping it will thaw the ground a bit
sounded like the banshees were about last night , wind squealing over the gutters and top of the downspout

It's kind of reached us here in the Midlands... I wouldn't say it's blowing a hooligan, but definitely blowing a chav! not quite umbrellas inside out weather yet though!
Very strong during the night, and I have enough rubbish in my front garden to fill a landfill to prove it. Wind's died down but it's been drizzling all day. It's a lot warmer than it has been, though. Been out in my greenhouse and sown a few onion and cauliflower seeds and a tomato seed that I meant to bring into the house but forgot. It can stay there until tomorrow

That is exactly what I did yesterday! The only home brew I have got is some Elderberry port and I am saving that, but I snuggled up on the sofa poring over seed catalogues for a lot of the day.
Last night the wind here was awful! Really howling round the house. I am glad to say today is much calmer.
