and the motorhome has retreated to the street!
I went out to look this morning given we have gale force winds and an atmospheric river heading our way down the North Island. Beside the motorhome was quite a sizeable branch from the huge very old cabbage tree across the driveway from the motorhome, plus a few smaller bits and a large tuft of the leaves - they are about 700mm long and each tuft contains about 150 leaves.
Given the wind is due to strengthen before it abates, I decided to move the motorhome out to the street. The only two dangers it faces now are:
- someone hitting it in their car - hopefully unlikely as we live in a cul de sac,
- the lamppost beside it coming down on it - I am trusting these things are constructed to stay upright in very terrible weather conditions.

| These had to be moved before I could shift the motorhome which lives around the side of the house to the right of the tap and across from the cabbage tree. |

| Cabbage tree - very high, very old, very beautiful. |

| Cabbage tree leaves flew over the house and landed on the outdoor table - we moved it and all the chairs yesterday to protect them from the approaching storm. |

The weather seems worse today, Tuesday, we can hear the wind roaring around, quite scary. A good day to be tucked up warm inside thank goodness we are not away in the caravan, would hate to be towing in these winds.
