Hey guys!
So, I guess this is my first proper Lifestyle post! How exciting! And what better topic to start off with than this horrendous weather that has been hitting the UK lately?
I live in Swansea. A place the majority of UK citizens will most likely have heard of before, and to those of you that haven't heard of it, its a city on the South coast of Wales. Yes, I'm a Welshie! We always joke about the weather and how dreadful it is here. Sun? What is that? But lately, it seems to be especially... bad! From what I can gather, we've got off pretty lightly with the storm so I dread to think about other parts in the UK! But, what about where I come from?
Well! For the first time ever, well, since I've been born that is (all of 19 years and 11 months to be exact ;)), schools have been closing because of the wind... yes, the wind!! Ok, that may be a slight understatement. Yes, it was wind, but this wind was like nothing I have ever seen before. A lot of the UK was issued with both amber AND red weather warnings for it and to be honest, I can see why! It caused havoc. Road closures popped up everywhere due to fallen down trees and more worryingly, whole roofs were flying off buildings! Our fence came down and thousands of people were left without electric! I was in work, and where as we didnt have a full black out, the lights flickered away!
Unfortunately, I didnt manage to get any pictures myself, but if you fancy a look at what the weather is like down here, here is some links to our local news paper where you will find pictures, tweets and articles from our locals!
How has it been where you are? Drop us a comment and let me know!
