Lucky Escape?!


Recommended Posts

Very, very windy here today......

 

We were all in our outdoor area .........when we heard a creaking, groaning sound - my deputy realised what was happening first........a huge Silver Birch tree was falling in the garden next door :o ........first thought was 'oh no the children missed it' :( second thought 'it missed the children' :o :blink: xD .......

 

Seriously - if it had fallen in a different direction it could have crashed through the fence and landed on us!

 

Phew!

 

Edit - because I used the wrong 'through'/'threw'!!!

Strong winds and sideways rain here in sunny Cumbria! Preschool trip today to an open farm thingmy. Welles and waterproofs on and thank goodness for the indoor playbarn!

 

I love silver birch, they are my favourite of all the trees, I bet the owner is very sad this evening!

 

But yes, I know hat you mean about thinking 'oh they missed it!'. Jolly fortunate that it fell the other way!

I really like Silver Birch too........but I'd rather not be wearing one! :oxD :lol: xD

 

I think the owner will be feeling sad - but will probably be relieved that it didn't fall on her house, greenhouse, swimming pool, barn - or us! :1b

"swimming pool"? It's a different world down there, isn't it?!

Glad the tree missed you Sunnyday. It's getting a bit windy here now, I keep checking that the playgroup washing is still on the line.

Lucky escape.

Cait, I thought Cumbria was a swimming pool! ;)

 

It pretty much is this evening, flood barriers are at the ready all over the place and the river at Cockermouth is quite high already. Luckily Zebedee isn't on call tonight - but he's had a heck of a day of it!
