    Default want to chase your washing?

    High winds from the N/W late friday night for a few hours so tie down anything loose, possibly gusting to 80mph in exposed areas. It will build from about lunch time from the WSW then back through the evening to the NW, worst of it around midnight, back to sensible levels by sunrise saturday.

    sorry this one slipped past me until today

    Thanks a Bundle Tugs I will make sure that I have everything tied down
