Storm Ashley

Storm season has arrived in Ireland!

Storm Ashley has been battering the West of the country today. It’s not been as bad here in the sheltered environs of Maynooth, though we have had gusts up to 80 km/h which has left my garden in disarray with leaves and twigs all over the place.

    When driving along the road last night my car was hit by a display sign that had become loose from its mooring. Lucky only a glancing blow as I managed to swerve at the last moment. Still checking the car for damage.

      That sounds like it could have been very serious. I’m glad it turned out not to be. The worst I had was an empty wheelie bin blew over.

        Thanks. So was I! Must admit that later on I was quite shaken when thinking about what could have happened. A couple of drivers did stop to ask if I was OK, and one very kind lady gave me her phone number so she could act as a witness if there was car damage.
