Weathering the storm

This has been a stormy week here in the Hamster wheel.

It has been a week of Illness and no heating or hot water, impromptu sleepovers and head injuries, Hospital visits and airport pick ups. Smiles , tears and storms.

We had one of the most violent storms, I have ever experienced, this week. Tuesday was just unbelievable! The tide was so high it reached the top of the harbour wall, the wind was so strong it forced the waves higher than houses, rocks, water and sand battered the shops along the sea front.

I have no pics of my own to show you of the storm. I have borrowed these from a friend. This was some high water!

A home that has stood for many years crumbled under the barrage of the elements. Luckily no one was home and no one was hurt.

I spent Tuesday with a good friend. She was weathering a storm of her own that day, the very sudden and unexpected end to her marriage and the crumbling of her own home. We drove in the worst weather I have ever seen to collect her Mum from the airport.  Her Mum,  her support, her life line.

Even in such a tough week there is hope. If you can weather the storm, if you can push on through those hard times, you may just be rewarded.

Beyond the rain and the wind and the crashing waves,

There is spring

There are blue skies

And calm waters

And if you are very lucky like I am, your family is holding together, the head injuries are minor, the heating gets fixed and everyone feels well again.
