Why?

Also, how did this get there? The burn would be even nicer even people refrained from throwing in their rubbish.
We had a church leaders' meeting this morning, much less stressful than Wednesday's meeting.
It was a bit too windy to spend much time anywhere near the trees, though we did speak to the tree surgeon about getting some work done. He says the really big trees are actually safer being left (and removing them would be difficult logistically) but he'll do some work on a couple of smaller ones that are getting unruly.
I did sit for a while and did some knitting, watched a little bit of cycling and had a short run.
The bright and breezy day dried 2 loads of washing, nice to be caught up.
