  I was in hospital, expecting my last daughter. The room I was in looked out onto an enclosed courtyard, so it was slightly protected from the wind. Nevertheless, the wind banged against it in huge gusts and I can remember thinking "That wind's a bit strong."
  
  After Christmas, when I was travelling to Dover, I was amazed to see swathes of trees flattened along the roads. I'd been told about the storm, but as a busy new mum with a very premature and special-care baby, and with two other small daughters to care for too, I hadn't until then truly realised what a massive storm it had been.
