There once was a Leylandii hedge there. That was eventually destroyed. We claimed on our insurance and had a fence put up instead. This is the fourth possibly fifth time it has been damaged.
I am going to ask the council what to do and if they can put up one of those crash barriers. I cannot keep on paying out for the replacement of the fence. You can see from the different colours where it has been hit. No-one can really work out how the damage has been caused. But it has. If I do nothing then what? They knock our lovely Birch trees down? Plough up the grass? Kill the cat? Any suggestions???
The rest of the day was morning having the head to toe wash and moisturise from my personal carer.
Afternoon was the meeting of the Fraserburgh Art Group and our exhibition getting nearer. I seem to have ended up with more stuff to do......
Quick trip to the Prom on the way home.
It was very breezy so I managed the railings only.
Did some deep breathing.
It is noticeably cooler in the early morning and in the evening.

The farmers are now cutting the Barley fields hell for leather. The one across the road from our house has caused a heck of a lot of dust. No washing out on the line and all the windows shut....
Enough already.

Is that the road adjoining the grass or is there a pavement ? That damage looks very strange, very specific. It doesn't show any vehicle tracks or grass damage, and the uprights seem to remain in place which seems odd if a vehicle has driven or reversed into it. Could it possibly be vandals ? If vehicles are the culprit, then yes, a crash barrier would be a good idea.
I have noticed the days getting shorter too, which makes for more pleasant daytime temperatures.
Could you put some kind of fairly tall stones or concrete mounds in front of the wood fence.
Luminous paint saying SLOW DOWN!?
Is it on a bend? Looks more like a motorbike than a car as not a very wide area of damage? I hope that the Council will put up a barrier for you as it must be very expensive keeping on replacing fencing.
Not breezy here today - quite muggy when we got home from Hay - but the house felt damp so the heating's gone on for an hour. I hope it is not as windy where you are tomorrow so you can catch your breath better.
The evenings are certainly drawing in. I shall have to put the winter curtains up soon.
There is a cottage near us that is at the bottom of a hill and on a bend on the next road to us and to get to our house and about 60 others we have to pass it everyday and it is a tight manouvre at this junction as only one car can pass. It used to be in a bad winter someone would not be able to brake going down the hill in the snow and end up through the front window of the cottage as they have only a 2' strip of garden in front of it. The council have put in some of those large black steel posts like bollards at specific points in front of their cottage. They are the more decorative ones and blend in with the few plants they grow there. Now they can rest easy that no-one will plough into their front room for breakfast!!
