WJT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Guepe, I am sorry no one has come back to you, I do hope you have heard something. We are in the SE Dordogne so quite a way from you. But I can tell you that there was no damage here and I haven't heard about any damage anywhere within the dept. I have only picked up the Sud Quest a few times this week but there was no mention. Hopefully someone nearer to your area will respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't think any major damage was caused. It did get quite windy, but nothing too extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJT Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Guepe, I do know how you feel. When you are such a long distance away you worry about your house with natural and unfortunately unnatural disasters. Every time we return I am so relieved to find it still standing. [:)] Happy to hear you had nothing to worry about in France but take care on the old airfield.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnip Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I know the area well. Apart from becoming an area for the more well orf, traffic in Cornwall has increased a lot. There is none of that "traffic is much lighter now the holiday season is over," indeed traffic is busy throughout the year. Green fields are turned into housing which leads to more people, empty villages awaiting the return of the second homers, more cars but no new jobs. Rant over, now back to looking at French property.

Iceni Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No wind here in N Lot, even less than usual. Though Meteo says that winter will arrive tomorrow.Johnnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
