<\/a>A tree is down in the field near where we live<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This is a huge old tree<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It’s completely rotten inside<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It’s also been eaten away by something<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It was a pretty big tree<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>The cellar of the pub on the green has been flooded for many weeks<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The water is constantly being pumped out into the road<\/p><\/div>\n
We are very lucky compared to some parts of the country that have had their homes flooded but even we have water laying on the ground that will take a long time to go and lot’s of tree damage. Luckily I feel the trees that have come down are old and it’s natures way of thinning the woodland and the rotting trees will break down and complete the woodland cycle of life.<\/p>\n
I just wanted to make a bit of a record of recent events to look back on. Even our little neck of the woods has it’s own local drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
