Respecting the weather and decisions

With Storm Eunice tomorrow and forecast gusts in Swanage at 75 to 95 mph during the day. I may have the shop open or I may not and I have posted online to encourage people to stay at home like the responsible shopkeeper that I am. I will be checking the premises if conditions allow.

Saturday sees forecast gusts still around 50 to 60 mph in Swanage and Southampton where I was to be attending Toes in the Water Art event. Was, because I have decided I do not want to be driving in such conditions especially as there may be damage from tomorrow already causing disruption. Apologies to the organisers who I have contacted and anyone hoping to see my art there. I shall be in Swanage at the shop on Saturday instead, subject to it all being safe.
