A victim of Storm Henk - very heartbreakingly, the beautiful eucalyptus in the park which has been there as long as I've lived in Walthamstow came down yesterday in the high winds. I'd cycled over after Zumba and while I was there many other people stopped by to mourn its loss.
Not as restful a day as I'd planned as I thought would be a good idea to start up Zumba again so cycled there and then onto the park. Just managed to miss the hard shower that came down while I was in the class.
Salad for lunch and cooked a big lentil, cabbage and leek stew for supper and Dave's lunches. Caught up with photo backing up while watching Ghostbusters II and Finding Dory. And over supper saw the second episode of Mr Bates versus the Post Office - so scandalous.
@corinnec yes thank goodness not. One of the women I saw by the fallen tree had been running in the park earlier that day - despite the bad weather, there were still people out and about
Truly awful, poor tree. I wonder how old she was? I always remember 'Dogmatix' from Asterix books, he bawled his eyes out whenever a tree was felled. Gotta agree with him. Cor, am rambling these days, sorry!
Sad that such a tree has been brought down by the latest storm, but trees don't last forever. At least this was a natural phenomenon and not an act of vandalism. We have had so many storms this year compared with a more normal year.
@fishers yes that's right, sad though it is, this does happen (they lost 6 trees at Kew apparently due to Henk), I just can't begin to imagine how locals are dealing with the Sycamore Gap outrage
