It is really wild here today. Wind is gusting so strongly it has
overturned a
heavy hardwood three seater bench, overturned several pots and smashed one
of them, broken a 4" dia bough from the Tulip tree and completely
flattened
some Lupins I was particularly proud of having grown them from seed.

Shows the largest bow to have come down so far.


Yup -this can be a sad result of winds at this time of the year.
The bow would have probably survived a wind of the same force in say
January.
