Something Broken, Something New

I've always loved the rain, everything from the smell of rain to the sound of it. Sadly however, the rain brings out the worst in drivers and today, our fence wore some of it. Around 10 this morning, someone lost control of their car and it ended up in our fence. By the time I got home at 4pm, our fence (or where it once stood) was looking pretty sad.

It's not all bad news however. The fence is one of those old-school steel-wire mesh ones and after our neighbour replaced their fence, we'd been talking about how we might one day replace ours. We just hadn't planned on it happening quite so soon. Also, the tree that got taken out was somewhat dead anyhow so it's saved us calling the tree lopper. Most importantly, no one got hurt! So we've put in a call to our insurance company and we'll see what they say. Wish us luck!
