When I first took a look at the room I'm sitting in now, my reaction was:
"That is going to be my office!"

The window, which is in front of me when I sit at my computer, looks onto a meadow that slopes down into a valley. The opposite slopes are covered in pine trees and there is the occasional clearing, where a farmhouse and meadows can be glimpsed.
Between my window and the valley 'my' meadow is flanked on the left by a coppice of trees ...
... it was, that is, until last week!

This tiny wood withstood two cyclones and a hurricane. It was unable to oppose the chain-saws.
To say that the coppice has been 'thinned out' would be an understatement.
All of the pine trees and a number of birch have been removed. Left standing are two dead pines, two larch and about 25 beech trees.
I can only imagine, that bad weather interrupted work and the dead pines will come down next.

I suppose I'm lacking the degree in forestry, that is needed to understand the mess that has been made of my view.
