Was the damage at the allotment bc of storm Amy who came over from the Atlantic? No one else in Western Europe had damages? How did the tree huggers coop?

Yes, Amy hit northern Ireland and Scotland the hardest (no doubt kattabelly will have something to say about it in due course ). The tree huggers were all sheltering on the logpile under a roof on the opposite side of the house at dawn when I took breakfast out and opened up the coops. I don't know if they got blown out during the night, or decided to come down to find shelter at first light, but the conifer branches' movement at the time looked like roosting in them would have been a bit like being stuck in a ship during a storm at sea.

Good for them. My crew use the woodpile for daylight storms. They like being able to watch, I think. Close to bedtime, they retreat to the coop, though.
