Windshear On Final.

First time in over 100 hours flying I had windshear on final today. Scared the poo out of me.
Lined up all nice and lovely (well as nice and lovely you could be with a 16 knot wind 50 deg off runway heading) when about 100 foot from touchdown the left wing decided to dip, the plane decided to gain 100 ft and the speed decided to increase 10 knots all in the space of a second. So it was all hands to the pump and niftier footwork than Mr Beckham..
Got down fine but my nerves were a little jangled.
