It was nice to find the first snowdrop in the garden after Storm Eowyn.
The wind howled last night and this morning and we didn't get much sleep.
It brought down trees and power lines, lifted garden sheds and trampolines, damaged sports facilities and houses.
One driver was killed when a tree fell on his car.
We were lucky as our power was restored after a short length of time and there was no damage apart from a couple of branches blown down.
