Early morning: Storm Amy has arrived and she is not quiet. There is noise as she blusters through and between the trees. She is shaking branches and scattering leaves around. White clouds are passing quickly across the sky. They are racing with the wind. The air is full of leaves, and soon the launders and drains will be choked by leaves.
Later: We are without electricity and internet.
After that: There is rain and the stubborn dog will not come indoors!
