It was pretty windy here in Warwickshire but we were disappointed that a large flexy bough on a tree in the cul-de-sac at the end of our plot that overhangs our garden didn't fall off - the bloody tree is massive but has a TPO so can't be lopped without planning permission. It's, allegedly, the largest walnut tree in Warwickshire - and blocks the light.
Neighbours applied for planning permission to fell a huge beech tree in their back garden, but also part of protected woodland. They bought the house a year or two earlier and of course it blocks the light, has done for decades and little sun reaches the back garden. Local opposition to the application was very loud and successful. I watched the tree in Storm Henk, it is very tough and was shielded by the rest of the wood.
They have a front garden which is sunny but they paved it over completely to make car parking - it has no greenery whatsoever, not even a plant pot!. I am sorry to say it floods just in front of their front door step
Before they moved in it had car parking for one car next to quite a nice front garden.
My ancient chestnuts in France were my favourite bit of the garden.
