Battoning down the hatches

This is what I did today as we had a storm. It was predicted and although it was quite wet and windy, to me it was no worse here than some of the other wet and windy days that we have had this year. Anything that wasn't secured properly in my house and garden blew away months ago so this current storm did not add to the damage. I did hope to go down to sea front and take some pictures of the waves as the English channel in a storm is quite spectacular, but the greyness damp and cold put me off so instead I turned up the heating and stayed indoors!
