Heard a bang around 0500h this morning so went to investigate.
Looked about, back garden, Carport, Workshop then out front and couldn't quite believe what I saw.

Photos say it all!




I have absolutely no intention of checking if anything has been bent, that can wait until the body is back in the Carport.

Got the OS down onto the paving yesterday & a good thing too, what with the forcast of gale force winds for this evening.
I just happen to live in the part of the village that is at the same height as the church tower, meaning that the wind howls up the street.
Cheap nasty ^%# felt roofing blown off of the Summerhouse last week.
Looking to replace it with EDPM.
