A dad known as the local 'cat rescuer' felt like an 'idiot' when he was left clinging to a 30ft high tree and had to be rescued by firefighters - when a freak storm blew his ladder over.
John Jennings says he's well known in the local community for saving cats from trees so was left embarrassed when he had to be rescued himself by the fire brigade after his apparatus was blown over by a gust of wind.
The roofer had been balancing on a tree trunk to trim branches that were overhanging onto a roof he was retiling on 5th October when the calm weather suddenly turned and strong winds blew his route of escape over.
