I hope all our SW peeps are ok. PB are you far enough inland to have avoided damage?
The boys and I are safe, currently no power and can’t safely leave the house as it’s my trees that have brought the lines down and the car is also under some of it. I’ll update and post photos once it’s safe to go out. The power company and tree team can’t actually get to the area due to trees down all around. I’ve got off lightly compared to some down on the East of the Island
Boys are a bit fed up

That's good to read you're ok, and everyone else, after storm Ciaran.
Fortunately here we didn't suffer damage, just a lot of leaves blown around and high water levels. It was unsettling watching the huge tower structures used for the construction of HS2, my heart was trembling at the thought if one toppled and the nearby houses became crushed!

Finally back up and running at of 19.45 this evening. It has been a very interesting experience and not one I'd like to repeat in a hurry.
The car will need a visit to the body shop and a new windscreen
Hopefully the tree surgeons will be able rescue the most damaged trees - I've reduced the Olive in the hope that we can get it back up and staked - they are tough things
Looking at the damage around the Island it's incredible more people were not more seriously hurt
