The wind isn't pleasant, but it is very invigorating. It's been trying to blow my back fence over, it looks like all of the screws attaching the side fence to the back support have come out so the panel was starting to cave in under the wind pressure. It looks like it's had a previous repair already as there are few extra holes drilled. I've managed to get some more screws in (which was challenging with the wind still trying to blow it over) but I suspect they will work their way out too. When I get a day with less wind I'll put some rivets in, they should do a better job of holding.
I also braved the wind to put the mint into it's pot - it took the entire 25L bag of potting mix plus half a bag of compost, so it definitely should have room to stretch it's runners out in there.
Edit: it is so much quieter without the fence rattling too
