Hi everyone.

Happy New Year! I hope you all have a good 2024 and are staying safe in this rather hostile weather that's been battering the country of late.

I live on a farm which has a public footpath that runs through it and as the farm is from the 18th Century originally and has many old trees I got a tree expert out last year to check if any needed to come down.
There was one in particular I was concerned about but this expert said it was in good standings and the weather wasn't a concern regarding it.

Well, about an hour ago I was in the kitchen cooking and I heard an almighty crash. I look out the window and what do I see?

The tree that was safe and not in danger of the wind unsettling it had come down. 

Luckily the new cattle I bought last year were in the upper fields.

Luckily, I have an uncle who works in construction and has a crane and he's said he'll come round tomorrow to shift this to one of the fields for me.

Be safe and careful out in that weather. As you can see it's causing a lot of damage.

  • Evergreens are more prone to damage this time of year as they have a greater surface area exposed to the wind. Having had roof damage due to wind many years ago, I tend to be rather apprehensive when the wind gust speed nears or exceeds 50mph.

    The relentless succession of weather fronts and storms has played havoc with my health. The continually changing air pressure gives me sinus pain, which then triggers migraines. I really hope this stops soon.
