after the storm

We lay in bed last night listening to the wind roaring in the trees. Our house is surrounded by big trees. The sycamore outside our bedroom window is where the peacock sleeps, and we wondered how he would fare, but there he was on the doorstep this morning, seemingly unscathed and waiting for his breakfast.

It was still windy and wet this morning - Jess went outside, stood in the drive and came back in again. By lunchtime, though, the wind had died down a little and the rain had stopped, so I went on a walk. I took this photo in the style of blipper DRB60 :-)
