Luckily no damage to the shed and some of the fence just slotted back into place. Going to get a kind relative to help me fix the rest of the fence this weekend. Weather permitting will take up a few slabs to expand the garden :)

Living in mid west France where it is often very hot, I had a great tip from Peter. He said that they don't always use bonsai substrate, but put them in ordinary compost. Great news for me since it is very difficult to obtain the bonsai stuff. I have some substrate left and mix some with ordinary compost. Very pleased with the result and the trees don't shed branches. Had my bonsai for 25 years now and they are the best ever this year.
