Thank you Gareth!
Wind has been the the weather feature of the week. Storm Gareth blew over on Tuesday night and toppled the beautiful ornamental plum tree by the swimming pool gate. It had just come out into blossom and we were looking forward to its deep red, summer foliage. However, fungi had got into its roots and it fell on the corner of the pool fence. Damage could have been quite costly but we got away with one broken fence rail and 8 crushed chairs. The expensive winter and summer pool covers were unscathed as only the outer branches were resting on these.
