School House Farm has not suffered too much.  Some fencing in the horses field has blown down but more worrying a large tree down the lane which our outbuildings back on to has come down and is at the moment precariously lodged on a smaller tree.  Had this not happened if would have crashed into the Bubble  Shed roof.  As it is at the moment only some of the branches are lying on our roof. Like Bob our trees still have their leaves especially the oaks and there are several oaks down this little lane, so no more high winds please  The owner of the tree is uncooperative so we are awaiting the arrival of our own man to do a little remedial work, with branches out of the way we shall be able to see if our roof is OK.  Once Michael and Jamie have fixed the fencing, the Cook's are off to Somerset for the rest of the half term. Keep your fingers crossed for me.Trees are beautiful until they keel over and uproot!  Jean

Things must be bad, the HM himself has started to make spelling mistakes! ;D

Glorious sunny morning here in Essex.

Nice for the Brighton run.
