A storm is on its way to Cley and the home of Klausbernd and the bookfayries. How exciting! And upsetting! Klausbernd has tied Siri and Selma to his belt to make sure they don’t get lost ..
James lives “on the other side”, have a look at his spectacular shots of the lighthouse . Wish I were there… 🙂

That is a very dramatic view of the sea hitting the breakwater Dina. I like the fact that the B+W makes it timeless, like it could have been taken 100 years ago. I am guessing it isn’t Norfolk though?
I hope we are spared such excesses tonight, as I have had too many problems around the house already this month!
Best wishes as always, Pete (and Ollie) X

No, dear Pete, it’s not Norfolk, it’s where the storm hit England on the other side of the coast. I hope you and Ollie are fine! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your house; no more problems, please!

Hej Dina! Jag ska gå ute nu för att fixa mina sista greyer i trädgården inför det påväntade stormbyar som det hette. Just nu är det lugnt, lite moln som rusar snappt , men det skall blåsa upp mot kvällen idag och stormar inom natten mot tisdag med mer än 130 kilometer i stormbyar med de från dig ovannämda kraft. Vi få se och jag komma dricka te eftersom träer som finns i skogen som ligger i närheten av våra hus ska undvika min sovande. Det vet jag redan. Så det blir pencilinsats……, och Twinings Classics Lady Grey. Kram Ruth Wie gut das es Euch gibt –
