Where abouts are you based @shanibeer?

A generator would be the job right about now, day 3 powerless and getting tougher!

Leicester in the English east midlands. So pleased I live on a hill and, so far, we have avoided the worst of all the storms this year. I feel for people who have lost power for days at a time, it must be miserable.

Sounds like a lovely spot, wasn't sure if you might be Irish.

How was the storm over there? Did anywhere get it bad?
