'Still needs more chainsaw action but am hoping life will spring back at the roots.
'Very proud of my fence mend though (on the left) using old fencing from elsewhere.
'Something satisfying about being out in the fresh air though ( even if it was grey and raining) and now ready for a hot bath and bed. Hope everyone has had a great Sunday.'
Met Office yellow weather warnings remain in place for wind and rain in parts of southern England, with gusts of up to 55-65mph possible in some areas.
The rain warning is in place until 6am on Monday, bringing a chance of local flooding for parts of the UK.
Some rail services, flights and ferries were paused due to the disruption from the storm.
Garraway has won multiple National Television Awards for her documentaries about her husband Derek Draper, who suffered long-lasting symptoms from coronavirus.
The emotional Kate Garraway: Derek's Story was released after his death at the age of 56 in January last year, detailing the final year of his life.

Warnings issued for thunderstorms and high temperatures as heatwave continues
Weather warnings have been issued for thunderstorms and heat alerts extended as the fourth heatwave of the summer continues. The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning covering northern Scotland until 10pm on Thursday. Flood alerts have also been issued for Scotland. It comes as heat health alerts were extended into next week for much of England. The UK Health Security Agency said yellow warnings will now be in place for Yorkshire and Humber, the East and West Midlands, London and the South East, South West and East of England until 6pm on August 18. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency said heavy thundery showers or rain may affect the region on Thursday, with a risk of significant localised flooding effects from surface water and smaller rivers. Heavy rain and thunder hit London and Kent on Wednesday afternoon. But officials have said England is suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls. The national drought group – which includes the Met Office, regulators, government, water companies and other organisations – has met as five areas of the country remain in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. On Thursday, there will be residual showers and isolated thunderstorms across the South East, gradually clearing, and lightning, hail and heavy rain drifting northwards from Scotland into the Northern Isles. Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Some areas will continue to experience their fourth heatwave of the summer so far, with Thursday remaining warm or very warm for many, though cooler near coasts. 'Temperatures could still reach 30C in eastern England, though many areas will be a few degrees cooler than earlier in the week.' Northern England will have patchy rain and cloud on Friday while southern England will enjoy sunshine and temperatures of up to 31C. The weekend should be dry and sunny for most parts of the UK, climbing to 30C on Saturday and 29C on Sunday in south-west England.

Heat health alerts extended into next week
Heat health alerts have been extended into next week for much of England after the fourth heatwave of the summer brought thunderstorms and showers. The UK Health Security Agency said yellow warnings will now be in place in Yorkshire and Humber, the East and West Midlands, London, the South East and South West and East of England until 6pm on August 18. The warnings mean significant impacts on health and social care services are possible due to high temperatures, including a potential rise in deaths among the elderly or those with pre-existing health conditions. Alerts were previously due to end at 6pm on Wednesday. Heavy rain and thunder hit London and Kent on Wednesday afternoon, and the Met Office said it was likely the South East would continue to experience thick clouds and a risk of heavy thundery showers overnight. Northern England and Northern Ireland should see isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms and flood alerts have been issued for Scotland. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued alerts across 19 regions. It says heavy thundery showers or rain may affect the region during Wednesday afternoon and evening and during Thursday, with a risk of significant localised flooding effects from surface water and smaller rivers. The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for most of Scotland from 2pm until midnight, with the potential for up to 30mm of rain in less than an hour, and 50mm locally, as well as hail and gusty winds. Wednesday began warm following a sweltering night for most of the country. The highest temperature recorded on Tuesday night was 19.4C in Myerscough, Lancashire, with 16.4C in Killylane, Antrim, Northern Ireland, 17.1C in Salsburgh, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and 17.9C in St Athan, Wales. The highest temperature recorded overnight in 2025 so far was 22.2C in Heathrow on July 1. Firefighters in North Yorkshire declared a major incident on Wednesday after a moor fire near an RAF base spread over five square kilometres, with 20 pumps attending. North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue said it has been fighting the blaze on Langdale Moor, close to the RAF Fylingdales early warning station, since Tuesday morning. David Skaith, mayor of York and North Yorkshire, and Jo Coles, deputy mayor for policing, fire and crime, said in a statement: 'We are aware of North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's declaration of a major incident for the fire at Langdale Moor and continue to monitor the situation. 'We encourage the public to avoid the area and follow the latest advice from the fire service, which can be found on their website. 'We want to thank the firefighters, emergency service workers and partner agencies for their response to this incident.' Officials have said that England is suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls, despite rain in July. The national drought group – which includes the Met Office, regulators, Government, water companies and other organisations – has met as five areas of the country remain in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. England is suffering widespread environmental and agricultural effects from the lack of water, which is hitting crop yields, reducing feed for livestock, damaging wetlands and river wildlife, and increasing wildfires, the group said. On Thursday, there will be residual showers and isolated thunderstorms across the South East, gradually clearing, and lightning, hail and heavy rain drifting northwards from Scotland into the Northern Isles. Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Some areas will continue to experience their fourth heatwave of the summer so far, with Thursday remaining warm or very warm for many, though cooler near coasts. 'Temperatures could still reach 30C in eastern England, though many areas will be a few degrees cooler than earlier in the week.' Northern England will have patchy rain and cloud on Friday while southern England will enjoy sunshine and temperatures of up to 31C. The weekend should be dry and sunny for most parts of the UK, climbing to 30C on Saturday and 29C on Sunday in south-west England.
