Slight upside. Mam get an extra tenner in for Bereaved Partner's pension and an extra fiver on the fuel allowance. It doesn't help that the "fuel" has gone up more than a fiver in the last year... so that all cancels out.

Thankfully, the tree that fell with a couple of inches from the house during #StormEowyn in January is getting some use. #noxp

First time I've been into Barna Woods since before Storm Eowyn. There's a lot of stumps that somebody's carved art into - I forget the artist's name.
