The wind came visiting . . .

 


We popped over to Hay this morning, and although it was a bit windy and definitely rainy, we still didn't expect to come back to THIS!  50 feet away from where it was anchored (insufficiently obviously) in the paddock, it had come to rest in the pond.  It shan't be going any further as it has a couple of feet of pond water in it.  Our seed-stack, which had a big piece of timber in the bottom to stop it being caught by the wind, was still tipped forward on its face and all our seeds fell out of their pots, and had to be rescued and tucked against the house to recover.  The irony of all this is we took our friend Ian some stuff we (thought we) no longer needed this morning, for his stall.  Amongst this were several heavy cast iron weights!

On the way, the polytunnel took out the very securely fixed rotary washing line.  Well, that's saved me a job - I never liked it anyway!


Meanwhile, in Hay it was mainly wet.  I LOVE this little harvest wheatsheaf with meeces.  SO well done.


On its way for tomorrow's post (and a few days after I should think as I took dozens of photos), a Bluebell Walk with Views, above Crickhowell.
