Silk tassels - and tree down!

The silk tassel tree is at the bottom of the garden, by the south wall. 

I took loads of photos of snowdrops but didn't like any of them! Why are they so difficult to get good pictures of? 

I've also got an extra of a tree which came down over the weekend, either in Storm Malik or Storm Corrie. It looks like two trees, but in fact there were two trunks, maybe that was the tree's weak point. At least it fell in a convenient way - it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully the containers underneath will be OK. The tree surgeon is coming tomorrow, I expect he's pretty busy right now!
