10.00pm: Route home blocked by a thigh-high lake at Penrith Railway Station. Please add 20 minutes swimming time to the length of your usual journey.

10.20pm: Alternate route blocked by massive, fallen pine tree. Please add 20 more minutes climbing time to your journey.

Footpath totally obscured by greenery for two house-lengths.

Still passing the fallen pine tree. Never realised that particular one was so tall. The air smells like Christmas.

One poor woman was almost in tears. No way to get to her car and wondering if it was even drivable. A guy offered us both a lift through the deepest bit - but when the water is higher than the wheels, I'm sure it ain't safe, and I didn't really fancy spending a night trapped in a stranger's car, in the middle of a lake, at 10pm.
I declined, and went home the *other* way and encountered the fallen tree!
