tree dislodged

Away at Oxford and alongside the River Thames at the weekend, an automated text / email to say the Lower Dee Valley from Llangollen to Chester was now off flood alert.
Now back at home in Cheshire and had a look down at the meadow today after last weeks inunndation.
There's light vegetation debris up to 2 metres above ground level in the hedges and trees (and still a bit of standing water on near-by low fields).
I've also lost a semi-mature ash tree from the west hedgerow.
One of a pair close together that made a nice silhouette at sunset against the Welsh hills. It's root cluster has completely lifted out of the ditch and bank.
