Timber!

The lot next door to our house was vacant land, well vacant in the sense that it was not built up but had trees and weeds. (And rubbish we thoughtlessly tossed there.) One day, I think a few days after heavy rain, one of the trees toppled onto our side of the fence. Nobody was hurt, and the only property damage was to the boundary fence and a bit to the zinc shelter over one of the car spaces. Naturally we were a bit inconvenienced for a while by the blockage.

This photo was taken from the inside of the undercover car space. I think the car is a Vauxhall. Those were the days of trade protection so British cars accounted for most of the sales. Japanese cars had not yet burst onto the world stage, American cars were expensive and a few daring people owned European cars like the Beetle. And the rich had Mercedes of course.

Anyway all this drama was heady to me as a kid that I used up almost a whole roll of 120 film.
