I'd just be happy to get rid of the last lot - it's now got to the stage where it's ice now, I was going in to town, but it might be a bit too dangerous. I now the scenic route along the river will be flooded, as a lot of the snow did melt at the weekend.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

We used to have a very old Rowan tree in our garden. It was dying and we had a quote from a local tree person to have it taken down (after permission and examination from the relevant authorities). This was about 7 years ago when we had those terrible gales. He quoted us £900 for removing the tree, but the following Sunday, I was looking out of the bedroom window and saw the tree swaying. It went one way then the other and then started falling towards the house, it would have done a lot of damage and I shouted no, go the other way - and it did. It fell the whole length of the garden, about 30 feet. Anyway, the tree feller came and sawed it up, and paid us for the wood, which he sells. Restored my faith that day.
