As forecast today was a stormy affair! Winds gusted to 60mph (force 10 to 11) around the middle of the afternoon at Milford Haven so you can probably add a few on for out here!
Not one to miss a weather phenomenon, Dewi and I crawled out to the island's west coast (literally at times in my case - the dog fared better) and tried to grab some video and photos. We then came back to the house and went down to get some of the harbour and the Axe - if you have ever waited for the boat on Ramsey you might well have looked down on this view but probably not seen it looking quite like this this!
Photos never quite do it justice with a small compact (I wasn't taking our good camera out!) but hopefully it gives you a feel for what it was like. It might look like some of the photos have got 'soft focus' on them but they haven't - that's just the never ending salt spray that was drenching us!
