Timmmmmberrrrrrrr.........................

Late this afternoon one of the trees in the backyard fell over.  I should specify that it wasn't actually a live tree, but a stump that a creeper had grown over.  It was rather pretty at certain times of the year, with little purple flowers.  I don't necessarily think it's a great loss, but Ian was quite sad.  We might be able to buy a frame of some sort and get the creeper to grow on that instead.  Anyway, I'm very grateful that no damage was done to the house when it fell and that no one was in the backyard at the time.  We just have to deal with the mess (well, Ian does - I'll be at work!).
