Reconstruction

Last night I set my alarm 5 minutes earlier to allow for car defrosting. Half an hour before the alarm (04:00) I was woken by the most amazing roaring wind. I lay there imagining giant branches and fallen trees and decided to get up. A good move - the car needed defrosting and there were numerous large branches that I could luckily weave around on empty roads. Then satisfyingly my (full beam) headlights caught something huge running across the road - that of course turned out to be a large falling tree by the Bailey of Skipton Castle. A quick 101 phone call and a U turn and I was still at work on time!!
