Hurricane Bawbag blasted through the village yesterday afternoon and left us without power for many hours. The electricity was off from about 4-8pm and (when my daughter had just stepped into the shower) at 9pm it went off again! We had no power until it came back on a little after 9am this morning.
When I say 'we' I mean the entire village apart from the residents of Herd Crescent and the end of Castle Street whose power never seems to go off. Bizarrely, they are on the same line/ circuit/ whatever as Lathallan School and whilst the rest of us were shivering in the dark their Christmas lights were twinkling away.
The photo is of my hubby, Ewan, keeping Johnshaven Stores open by gas light. He had to give up at 7:30 when the gas cannister ran out.
Oh no! What a wild night! Hope you have warmed up!! Thinking of you Ali x
