Um... Anyone Seen My Roof ?

Quite a destructive storm early this morning with howling gales. At 5am when I was about to rise, the Cook asked what the banging was? I thought it might have been the Chimney pot coming lose, she thought it might have been the landing craft (oh yeah, I have a landing craft...)knocking against the side of the Manor. I had a quick look, but being just after 5am it was quite dark and I did not see much, and to tell the truth it was not a nice place to hang about.
Never thought that much more about it until arriving back to the Manor this afternoon, when the Cook asked me to have a look at the rear of the property, bracing myself for the worst, because we only just survived a tornado a few years back, I discovered that the roof had lifted and the barge board was strewn all over the roofing tiles.
I have made some temporary repairs until the weekend, and I hear that Al from 20th Century Wargaming has some damage to repair as well, so I guess his plate will be full too.

  1. It was a bit breezy here earlier this week, but nothing compared to what hit you. At least with the landing craft you'll be safe in a flood...
