Thankfully my veggies all seem to be ok and my (rather badly built!) bamboo veggie garden has survived.... There wasn't even a single drop of rain in Chester or until we were about 5 mins from home, things started to get a bit ominous when we got near our house (kind of countryside) and there were branches and leaves all over the roads, but we thought maybe it had been a little stormy and all the loose bits from Thursday had been blown about. Totally wasn't expecting this - storms not even forecast!!

All our flowers were grown from seed - dug out the flowerbed this year along the deck and just sprinkled seed mixes hoping for a wild garden look, which was looking really good.....
