cloggy saint Posted 17 February, 2022 Share Posted 17 February, 2022 Being in Somerset I'm going to be bearing the brunt of this next storm. If my ancient garden fence survives I'll be mightily relieved and equally surprised 😖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 17 February, 2022 Share Posted 17 February, 2022 I built a gazebo last summer, designed it myself completely from scratch. This'll be the biggest test it's faced thus far, if it's still standing when we play Everton I'll feel like a real man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be fun with cross winds on the motorway catching your motor and the lorries around you. I've got an hour drive further west tomorrow and will take my chances on that, but personally wouldn't do 6 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
