Wind storm

Really suddenly from nowhere a giant gust of wind struck...
The weather before hand was pretty nice. It stayed windy but not so bad for the rest of the day.

This tent was in the potager - it has been there for years just fine

The hay feeder for the sheep is really heavy but blew over

This tent was keeping building materials dry at the end of the house. We had to take the canvas off as it was attempting to bowl back in to the house. Bits of this are going to get repurposed in to part of a fruit cage.

This apple tree has been dead for some time but we left it be, partly as birds nest in the ivy and partly because we were worried if we cut it down it would land on one of the trees we planted a few years ago.

It did land on this poor little plum tree. It has had a bit of a hard life as the bracken and weeds mean it has taken a long time to get established. It was finally looking quite healthy and like it might actually manage to have some plums. Not this year I guess!

The bedroom door was also blown in. Fortunately Doug was in there to close it before further damage. The bedroom was full of leaves and seeds though.
