This was the scene half an hour ago across the field at the back of our house; two trees blown over by the wind, one fell on this car, lady occupant rescued un-injured by the council workers who were driving past; they fortunately had chain saws!

Cheers,
Pete.

Pete,

Is that an L, or GL model we're looking at ?

Why was the car parked across the white lines ?

Evidently the driver stopped because of another fallen tree blocking the road and was doing a U-turn when this tree went down. The driver was a lady cop and was totally un-fazed by the experience, unlike the two dudes who thought that they would be looking at fresh meat. They told me that they could not see the car at all when they ran around from their truck.

Are you coming to Chester a week on Sunday?

Cheers,
Pete.

There is one one Rainy City. It is Manchester UK. All others are imposters.

You could probably get a flight to Vancouver, which looks about a quarter of an inch away on my map.
