You may have heard there was quite the fierce storm Monday in the UK, the Netherlands and much of Northern Europe. Several people were killed as high winds wreaked havoc, with many trees falling on cars and branches breaking and flying into canals.
In our own back yard, several tree branches fell to the ground. On the bank opposite "our" canal, one tree was completely uprooted and another snapped in half, wedging part of it onto another tree (below).
Firemen (pictured in the background) spent hours clearing fallen branches and debris from the train tracks. Train service in the Netherlands was suspended on Monday, but resumed this morning.
We're thankful for calmer weather: cloudy, with intermittent rain, interrupted by splashes of sunshine. Wishing you a day filled with sunshine, wherever your path may lead!
