We have a problem

After shopping this morning we decided to go over to Uldale and have coffee at Mae's tea rooms. On the way we swere stopped by this group of people who told us there was a dangerous tree in the grounds of Higham Hall, so could we wait until it was sawn down, would only take 5 minutes they said. But then they hit a snag and it was falling the wrong way.
We reversed up to a junction and found another route. Wonder how long it did take.
