What is it?
Mar. 31st, 2016 04:50 pmI see from the news that there was quite a storm over the weekend, especially in the south of England. I was indoors most of that time in Manchester. I was worried that my house might be damaged but when I got home on Tuesday, all seemed to be OK.
However, I found in my garden something that should not have been there, next to my greenhouse. Here are a couple of pictures.

To give an idea of size, the largest diameter seems to be about 40cm and the inner ring on the second photograph is about 30cm.
I have no idea what this is. I'd guess something like the vent for an extractor fan. I did wonder if it had fallen off a passing aircraft, but it doesn't look right for that.
But, how did it get there? If it blew off a nearby building, it was lucky it didn't hit the greenhouse, or even the house. It looks battered enough to have fallen. It seems a bit heavy for something that someone threw from the street, as it would have had to have gone over my neighbour's garden to get into mine. Did someone come through my back gate and just dump in there?
