Apologies that I've dropped the ball on posts for today and tomorrow, there hasn't been much happening at Struan Farm. But then guess what happened this morning?
A huge tree was uprooted from the bank across the road and fell onto SH3, blocking all of the state highway. Our rural courier came up the drive and asked me to ring emergency services, right as she was doing that we heard a crash. A pickup truck with trailer had driven right into it. I stayed on the line with emergency services while the postie went down to assist the motorists.
The good news is that while their truck is history, the occupants were fine. A very lucky turn of events! After the wife was helped out of the ute, she came up to the house out of the rain to calm down and have a cup of tea while police, road contractor, tow truck and husband worked to clear the tree, open the road, and get the ute onto the tow truck.
And here I'd thought it was going to be a quiet, rainy day!
