When Storm Éowyn started to batter the area around Algy's home, Algy retreated deep into the pitch dark depths of his ad hoc ivy refuge, and stayed there, tucked in tightly on a cosy bed of dry leaves, while the wind whooshed and whirled overhead, whooping and hollering as it swept over the ridges around his home and through the tall trees. The weather birds were calling it a "once in a generation" event, which Algy considered rather rash, but the storm was evidently rejoicing in the opportunity to celebrate its fame as boisterously as it could.

However, Algy was used to such tumult, for gales were common on the wild west coast of the Scottish Highlands, so before long he simply fell fast asleep, as only a fluffy bird can, and slept more or less without interruption until Saturday morning.

And when Algy finally woke up, the wind had died down, and the roaring had stopped, although it felt considerably colder than it had been the day before. Emerging cautiously from his hiding place, Algy looked around, and was astonished to see that there was apparently no evidence whatever of a great storm having passed through, despite the noise it had made.

One of the local weather birds happened to pass overhead as Algy peeped out from among the ivy, so he called out to it to ask for news, and learned that the area around his home had been exceedingly lucky on this occasion, for it was only a few miles away from the edge of a very large area of chaos and damage which the main body of the storm (if storm's can be said to have bodies) had caused further south.

Rejoicing in such good fortune, Algy hurried over to inspect his precious snowdrops, for he had been concerned that the "weather bomb" would obliterate them, but he was delighted to see that quite the opposite was true, for they were not only unscathed but positively flourishing, although they were surrounded by a scattering of melting hailstones.

Resting happily among his treasured flowers, Algy told them how happy he was that the wind had not damaged them, and then started to sing to them softly:

No one can tell me, Nobody knows, Where the wind comes from, Where the wind goes. It's flying from somewhere As fast as it can, I couldn't keep up with it, Not if I ran. But if I stopped holding The string of my kite, It would blow with the wind For a day and a night. And then when I found it, Wherever it blew, I should know that the wind Had been going there too. So then I could tell them Where the wind goes… But where the wind comes from Nobody knows.

[Algy is singing, to a special tune of his own, the poem Wind on the Hill from the volume of verses for children Now We Are Six by the famous early 20th century English writer who created Winnie the Pooh, A. A. Milne.]

Clouds flash overhead

strobing light over fields.

Gales bring me sunshine,

rain brings sparkling emeralds

to mark my way towards

the shelter of pine trees.

An ominous creaking warns

of widowmakers hanging

high in the branches,

so I gratefully decide to find

safer skies.

Act 2 Romance Scene with Tae "Hands are more than weapons, you know?"

Thinking often about how my Babies only experiences hands as a source of pain.

Drew this for my RP Blog, but I thought maybe some of you like to know how to romance them too

The wind in Ireland is strong enough that an anemometer has fallen off one of the major weather stations (it had got to 114mph before this). Hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland are without power. Stay safe, everyone in Ireland and Scotland! (The wind is significantly less in England, although in the north there are warnings out to avoid non-emergency travel).

NO TE CONFUNDAS MAS⤵️

Mucha gente en todo el mundo, incluidas personas de clase élite que han viajado mucho, a menudo confunden Inglaterra, el Reino Unido, Bretaña y Gran Bretaña. Bueno, aquí tienes la forma de diferenciarlos:

Inglaterra es un país como Nigeria, y su capital es Londres, al igual que Abuja es la capital de Nigeria.

Gran Bretaña es un conjunto de 3 países que se unieron como un solo país y tiene su capital en Londres. Esos 3 países son:

1. Inglaterra,

2. Escocia y

3. Gales.

Cuando incluyes Irlanda del Norte a estos 3 países, se convierten en Reino Unido (unión de cuatro naciones), a saber:

1. Inglaterra,

2. Escocia,

3. Gales

4. Irlanda del Norte.

Por eso se le conoce como Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte.

En conjunto, los cuatro se consideran un solo país. Y cuando este es el caso, Londres es su capital.

Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que estas cuatro naciones individuales tienen sus respectivas capitales.

En consecuencia, la capital de

Escocia es Edimburgo,

Gales es Cardiff;

Irlanda del Norte es Belfast.

Inglaterra es Londres.

Ps: Irlanda del Norte no debe confundirse con la República de Irlanda. Este último es un país independiente y su capital es Dublín.

Un hallazgo épico de una olla romana y un caldero y vasijas de la Edad del Hierro en el campo galés pintan una imagen vívida de la vida hace 2000 años. ¡Estos tesoros desenterrados que se encuentran en Gales han despertado una gran curiosidad y asombro!
