I sneaked down this morning and took a quick picture whilst wood was being moved.
Two trees have gone from the right hand side and smashed through the hedge to hit and land against the house next door. Luckily the only damage to the house has turned out to be a length of guttering. The hedge was flattened but amazingly it looks as if it has survived. The ground is quite soft there and there had been a fair bit of rain so we are hoping that now it is heeled in again it will live.
Once the weather improves we are going to have to have a good look at our taller trees!
The two trees that are gone formed the back wall of the children's den. The little bit of colour in the centre of the picture are their chairs. Because the trees grew in a sort of wigwam shape these usually stayed dry.
They haven't seen the damage yet!

I hope the children choose to invent new adventures for their remodelled den!
It's been pretty wild down here in Lincolnshire too, but I think you've had worse up there. How full of colour that photograph is even though we're in depths of winter (and stormy skies!)
I'm glad the damage wasn't worse for you.
