Just come home from hospital feeling stronger than I have for many weeks. Good news I hear you say but the gusting wind that felt so refreshing when I left the hospital had a sting in its tail. My wisteria has been ripped from its wall support breaking most of the old stems as it bent under the weight of the upper branches and now my beautiful old friend lies forlornly across my patio. All those years training it to go around the conservatory.

i'm now sat watching John clearing away the sad remains.
