My husband was willing our fence to break in the winds (wants a new better fixed one). He clearly is a non-believer in both professed Deities in this thread now as it didn't fall.. Although some near neighbour must have thought good drying weather as we now have their bed sheet stuck up our tree
I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, where extreme weather is practically a spectator sport. Today’s example—a high of 73 degrees (Fahrenheit) today, Monday, and a high of 31 forecast for Wednesday. And the wind definitely comes sweeping down the plains!
A thought-provoking comment about humans’ responses to extreme weather: ‘They blamed God. We blame ourselves.’ But hopefully our response will be more effective than prayer.
Did Lincoln decide not to rebuild because they thought that building so high had been pushing their luck, or did they decide it was too expensive? Maybe they thought that, even without the spire, it's a very impresive building. As Eleanor of Castile might have said, "I left my heart in Lincoln Cathedral."
A fair few Spanish ships from the Armada sank off the coast of Ireland. Catholic Spain and the Catholic clans in Ireland had a common enemy in Elizabeth
Thank you for pointing out all the historical parallels, Dan. It puts things in perspective.

It was a tad windy.

Didn't a bad storm finish off the Spanish Armada during Elizabeth's reign?

Okay Dan, time to confess: what did you do to get punished with a broken garden fence?
Beautiful picture of Lincoln Cathedral by the way, one my favourites as well.
Stay safe, stay indoors.
