A Strong Wind

 
While the south of the country bakes we are enjoying a fine but rather cooler day distinguished by a wind which is hammering in off the North Atlantic. The gusts around lunchtime were forecast to top gale force and, while I have no means of measuring them, I'm sure they lived up to the promise.

It very much reminds me of sitting in the back garden of our house in Jamaica when the trades were blowing strongly. Because I worked the 'morning school' I was usually home in time for a slightly late lunch so the garden was well used - in other ways too, for we grew a wealth of fruit and vegetables, including my favourites, mango and pawpaw.
