After the storm....

A lot of unboxing today and finding things we’d been looking for and creating homes for things we hadn’t.  Or chucking them out.  Walked out into the sunny afternoon with the dog to find a tree,  or rather a couple of entwined trees from a high hedgerow fallen across Slade Lane.  I picked a few catkins from the hazel to put on the kitchen windowsill.  Until then I thought the biggest casualty of the storm was my new compost bin blown down the bank.  And the bay tree blown over in its big heavy tub.
