Oh dear.

Opened the curtains this morning to be greeted with the sight of a fallen tree.  Ah well, that's the day sorted then.  Seems the build up of ice and snow on the branches and the overnight wind pulled it over.  Shame 'cos it was one of my favourite trees.  Anyway there was still some space in the skip so the shredder and the saws were put into action.  Four hours later it was all chopped up, skipped and shredded.  Now we both need a rest!
