It's been a week of blows, hasn't it?
Probably the one most likely to immediately spring to mind will be the massive storm that hit the UK on Thursday. That was a real big blow, wasn't it? We found it particularly severe in Blackpool where the winds on the front touched 100 mph at times, causing havoc and much destruction.
