Xynthia: very minor damage

Small tree blown over by Xynthia

We fortunately escaped any serious damage from the Xynthia storm that struck France at the end of February. The only damage (minimal) is a dead tree blown over in the garden and the bird table blown over – breaking off a piece of the roof which can be easily nailed back on. We were also fortunate with the two big storms at the end of December 1999, escaping any serious damage.
