The wind blew but thankfully the rain didn't overwhelm. There were showers. The wind didn't blow that hard. The strongest gust was 78.3 knots. But it kept going and going. And it blew the water straight into Clew Bay on one of the highest tide dates of the year. So of course we were home-bound for several hours. I barely made it home in time. The water was actually coming in at a very rapid pace. White breakers were crashing on our driveway.
The next day, I walked up to check for damage in the vineyard and was pleasantly surprised. No obvious damage. The vines had not yet leafed, and the Albarino was finally looking reasonably good with swollen buds. Phew!

Surprisingly, the plum tree has bloomed for the first time and the blossoms were not blown away.
Plus I discovered a new friend hanging out in the polytunnel. Feral Ginger is making herself at home.
