On Friday Jan 24 Storm Eowyn blew over Glasgow creating quite a lot of havoc as it went. Our allotment sites were not spared. Sheds were blown over on both sites, some merely damaged, others destroyed. The Kirklee site suffered considerably less damage than the Julian site possibly because it is on flat land and somewhat sheltered by big hedges. On the Julian site it was striking how the plots on the north side, at the bottom of the slope, were spared while sheds on higher plots were badly damaged. However the worst event was the demolition of the big Cupressus Leylandii on the west border, which was blown right over, destroying the fence and some of the pavement outside and landing itself right across the two nearest plots.
