Well it could have been a lot worse. Apart from a liberal scattering of branches and twigs over a good deal of the garden, there was only some minor damage and none of it to any of my favourite trees. Most of what came down was dead wood, including the trunk of a tree that had long since died and was essentially holding up some honeysuckle. Oh, and a bird box came down too- luckily not inhabited so far as I can see.

Wild plum trees in the woods. These tend to have lots of dead branches and tend to see quite a lot of woodpecker action, making them hollow in places.
