Today I spent some time campaigning for Lib Dem candidate Stephen Wilkinson in the Preston Riversway by-election (result not in yet).

There we were, walking along by the river on a windy afternoon and, with a loud crack, a dead tree crashed down across the road just a few metres away from us.  A lamppost which, we were told, had only been installed yesterday, was destroyed and a car damaged (very lucky it wasn’t worse).

Courtesy of Google, here’s the rather dead tree before it blew over.
