Thursday 13 February

Dry and the wind has brought a lot of old branches down. Weather has forecast more wind & rain.

 This is behind the Top Lodge, the cottages would have been behind me and I think the forge stood beyond the old fence.

 Tree down on Primrose Hill - the dogs had to investigate, the wind has been bad and we expected more trees down.

The ugly Ash tree is still standing after all the gale force wind
