stormy weather

As an opening, it was predictable and completely fitting, a song of warmth and brotherly friendship, both gentle and built to last, as Young sang: “We’ve been through some things together / With trunks of memories still to come / We found things to do in stormy weather / Long may you run.”

The stormy weather affected other parts of the East Midlands with some flash flooding reported on roads in Leicester and Market Harborough town centre.

More than 45,000 properties were affected by power cuts in towns and villages, including Desford and Market Bosworth, to the west of Leicester during stormy weather at 16:30 Saturday.

Fire crews were unable to use their aerial ladder to deal with the blaze because it was not safe to do so in the stormy weather.

It is thought puffins may have relocated, after stormy weather forced grey seals to move higher up into their territory, causing some burrows to collapse.
