If a tree falls in a forest...

We've had gales in our wood this week, and the huge dead oak...

... has fallen at last:

It's been standing dead since well before we bought the land, and tbh I'm surprised it took so long to drop. The roots were completely rotted away:

Luckily it seems to have dodged all the other large trees around and laid itself politely down doing the minimum of damage 😊

Circle of Life, eh?
