Yes, but when we know just how much disruption can be caused by leaves on a railway line it is amazing that any of us survived at all!!

According to the papers the quake was felt in Newport, Wales, where my eldest and her family live.

Phoned her and she said her in-laws and dad had already phoned asking if they were alright.

Didn't feel a thing!

They thought I’d farted

Everyone knows that's true.

I find it odd when they say resealable bags. Why would anyone seal up an empty bag?!

No chance I learnt a long time ago not to touch her chocolate however long she might keep it, I value having all my body parts still attached to my body.
