Well the recent tempests here have downed many trees, especially in the central areas of France. In this quieter corner of NW France, there's a tree that has been blown down in the valley by the river, and the deal with the village is that if I shred the debris I get to keep it, so I can use the shredded wood as a mulch on my flower beds. Tomorrow morning it's off to the river with my trusty shredder, gloves, ear plugs and trailer to do a civic favour, shred the wood and benefit my garden, all in one.
