I hope the cottage is ok Graham.

It is thanks Dave (luckily I had the roof replaced a couple of years back and it's well above the high tide mark) though many properties around Mount's Bay are not. The sea wall at Lamorna, which has been awaiting repairs since 2004! (the last really big sea in Mount's Bay) has finally really crumbled, the sea surging into properties no longer protected. There is a similar problem at Mousehole where the baulks across the harbour mouth have broken, allowing the sea to surge in.

It's not often you get gusts 80-90mph, even in west Cornwall. THe 100mph recorded on Scilly must have been a bit scary.
