Our weekend plans have been cancelled after Storm Darragh made travel through the West Country unwise.
We've got off relatively lightly so far as we're on the south Devon coast, sheltered by Dartmoor.
If you're also in south or western Britain I hope you're staying safe.

They had a music round
Betcha can't guess what the final song was
#Whamageddon
And it's only December 1st.
