Drop in for a natter about anything French related.Very strange weather today; the strong winds from this morning suddenly stopped to give a sunny and windless period of an hour. Then the wind and rain returned for a couple of hours, to again disappear and give windless sunshine. As of now it is still sunny but once again strong winds are in force.
Of themselves, strong winds are not unusual here, given our exposed position, but the stop-start repeating is not usual.

The eye of a storm is usually quiet, clear and sunny and as it passes, the winds continue.

Very true @Polarengineer , but we are about 700km south of the eye.
Something else that has never happened before: We have a large external analogue wall clock, at some stage, it has blown off the wall. It is big (about 45cm across) and quite heavy. I only noticed this morning when I peered out of the window to see if I could grab a further hour in my pit.
The clock seems to be working still, so I will just set it for winter time.
