Little Stalky Encounters a Blockage

Well it was very much like walking through a tree graveyard on the way to work today.  After the horrendous winds from Sunday there were branches all over the shot and the carnage only grew the further I went.  It created quite the obstacle course for a Little Stalky and her rucksack.  Initially there was just the odd branch here and there but as I turned the corner onto one street the entire pavement was blocked by a massive tangle of branches.  I wonder what's left of that tree if so much of it is piled on the side of the pavement.  I considered this mighty pile of wood with typical Stalky curiosity but decided that to climb it would be foolish, to go through it would be impossible, to go under it would be unnecessary so I took the sensible option of going round it.  This meant I had to go onto the road but with an average of maybe one car in ten minutes I figured I'd be ok.  I skirted the barricade successfully and neither me, nor the rucksack, nor the leopard print umbrella were affected.  I continued my walk to work without encountering any other such blockages but there were still a fair few branches lurking.  That wind really did a number on the poor old trees.  I'm a little bit nervous because more wind has been predicted for tomorrow.  I'll be interested to see just how windy it intends to be...
