It started at 04:30 am and they got it under control after 9 am. I don't think anyone was hurt but they told people living nearby to keep their windows shut....it was very strong here so I can understand why :-0 |

Can you imagine emigrating in the early days to far flung places…hating it and not having the means to get back home….as happened to a lot of the £10 Poms |
