Here, the wind doesn't seem to be too much at ground level, you can hear it roaring but the trees are hardly moving. Although it's quite mild, the strong winds and rain, and sleet expected later, means its very unpleasant outside. The rough sleepers are the tip of the ice-berg - there's something like 7,000 people homeless in Leicester, either in temporary accommodation or couch surfing.
Sorry to hear about the greenhouse, hope you're feeling better.
