Picture this - it’s February and Storm Dudley has pulled over half the potted plants in the garden. Days later, Storm Eunice sees the neighbours trampoline three gardens down. But it was Storm Franklin on February 20 that really left us in the lurch.
Having heard crashes and clattering throughout the night, I pulled back my curtains at 7am to reveal the back garden had been totally trashed, upending all of the patio furniture and completely smashing our glass garden table.
My family and I then spent the best part of an hour picking glass shards out of the grass just so we could let the dogs out for a wee.
