Unexpected storm

The wind picked up overnight and battered us this morning. 

I went with a friend to try some personnel training, interesting but I can get as good on Youtube. The best thing was the free lunch, yum.
It was still dry in the afternoon and the tide was high with a high wind so fun to go down below the house and take some shots. See extra too.
The wind has now died down so all is calm again and I heard the sweeper out clearing the seaweed and stones from the main road.
