It's Sunday, we've gone from red to yellow, time for low carb cake!

Many thanks to all who read and commented on my previous post about Storm Eunice. Thankfully we are okay but there are many in the UK who have not been as fortunate.

Storm Eunice tore through the UK on Friday, toppling trees and destroying roofs - including London's O2 arena. The Isle of Wight recorded wind gusts of 122mph. Energy companies are working to restore power to thousands of homes, after one of the worst storms to hit the UK in decades killed three people.

However, efforts to restore power and travel could be hit by a new yellow weather warning as forecasters predict winds of up to 70mph on Sunday and Monday.

So I think we shall just enjoy a quiet Sunday and Monday at home, catching up, where possible with family and friends via the telephone and internet (in some areas the storm and strong winds have cut power).

I may even make a cake! This low carb / keto blueberry coconut cake can be made in a cake pan, cast iron skillet-pan or as muffins, (which makes it easy to customize). It’s grain-free, nut-free, sugar-free, and did I mention low carb / keto! What’s more, it's light, airy, and moist. The blueberries and coconut flour pair perfectly in this recipe suggestion. Please see more details here

    Your winds were even more devastating than the ones to hit my area. I only lost phone and internet, while others lost electrical power and heat. Stay warm and safe, as the next wave of storms form.

    That cake looks great! The storm hit hard here, too. Our area was less affected than the north and east of Germany, but still lots of damage. Have a safe Sunday, Valerie

    We were lucky in the North East, storm Eunice didn't affect us too much but we are still experiencing strong winds. I love the sound of that cake. Stay safe!

    No matter what the climate skeptics say, if you examine the science in even the most perfunctory manner, these storms are going to become more frequent, and possibly, probably even, more intense. So get ready!

    That is an incredible huge wave and scary. We got some snow, gusty winds and rain. Storm Franklin is here right now with more of the same. Stay safe!

    Wow - that's some wave. Here, when a storm is coming in, the surfers all paddle out to catch the larger than normal waves. Bet there weren't any surfers out for these waves!

    Glad to hear you are ok. Those storm photos are wild. That wave one you shared shows how much energy was in the ocean. I hope you have a hopefully less threatening weather start to the week.
