And the thing...Yes, I was a bit sad about the tree. And the thing was I'd intended to pollard it back last winter. And I had removed some, but because it was in full leaf when the storm hit it was more in danger.<br />The car is usually under it too, but I'd parked it away from trees and slates.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492184650116235587.post-2210473221519916192017-10-18T23:28:29.741+01:002017-10-18T23:28:29.741+01:00Yes, they aren't nice at all.

At least if we had them every year the dangerous stuff would be culled out rapidly.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492184650116235587.post-14480674129773187452017-10-18T15:43:57.703+01:002017-10-18T15:43:57.703+01:00Glad to hear it went okay for you.

Shame to hear about your Chestnut tree. I love chestnut trees but these days they are quite rare to find around here. Hopefully there is enough of it standing to live on for awhile.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492184650116235587.post-45073703172758292502017-10-18T08:43:26.250+01:002017-10-18T08:43:26.250+01:00I was in London for the one 30 years ago. And I ma...I was in London for the one 30 years ago. And I made a bit of money out of it.<br /><br />The thing is that diving platform is not sheltered. If you plug in the numbers to google maps you'll see where it is. You see the waves aren't proper waves but Atlantic swell and the water can shift and swirl taking him down and out, never to be seen again. He was simply lucky.<br /><br />Ohh I remained inside. But Jessy loved it when out for the walks and was proper pissed off when the usual time for the evening walk came and went with her stuck inside. <br /><br />Did I tell you I've discovered I can eat a tiny amount of sheep's cheese. Roquefort, to be exact, a past love of my life truth be told. But the new bit is when I leave a bit for Jessy. The little brat loved the stuff. Now I don't give her much, I'm not that type of dog owner, but she will eat the cheese before an offcut of beef.

I don't have the wherewithal for that. I'm glad you faired alright. The way things have been going with hurricanes this year, sheesh! Were you nearby during the one 30 years ago?Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.com
