On Sunday afternoon a vicious intense but short lived storm hit North London and specifically Stephens house and Gardens was badly affected. Beautiful ancient trees fell like dominoes ripping off each other’s limbs. Unfortunately because of the danger to the public from falling branches the park has now been shut for three days. On the Tuesday I spent the morning helping to remove the fallen wood into piles. Hopefully normal service resumes when the park will open tomorrow morning.
