Bare Beech Trees and a Carpet of Leaves

A walk in the wood this morning just before the wind got really strong. It’s now very wild. There are bins and garden seats blowing around the street. The power was off for a couple of hours. Now it’s back on but at half strength. A new one on me! Heating won’t work, toaster is on but can’t heat up, same with microwave and oven. Most of the lights are very dim. It’s getting very cold indoors, and I don’t think I can get any more layers on. I already look like the Michelin man.
