Even with two of us holding it, the umbrella blew out a couple of times but fortunately wasnt damaged so we struggled our way to the station. Looks to be a bit colder and calmer at the moment though...
Did you get caught in the stormy deluge last night Steve? I had been for some post-work drinks in a bar in Brighton, and it was dreadful when we left - sheets of rain swirling in all directions on gale force gusts. I had my solid stick Brigg with me, and just about managed to hang on to it as I walked home - some of the gusts were really blowing me to a standstill though, with the Brigg in front of me like a shield, and it needed a tight grip in both hands to keep it under control...
