Storm Darwin  Worst in memory

Last Wednesday’s storm Darwin caused havoc in the parish, knocking trees and buildings and disrupting the supply of electricity. It is amazing that nobody was killed in our area. Let’s hope we have seen the last of it and we can look forward to a bit of normal Spring weather.
