No wonder you are shaken. Thank goodness for your dog xx

could have done but by the time he'd got round to me he was worn out as they had all the street out in their night clothes and were too tired and I did have the dog {Megan in my arms} Lol Jean.

Good heavens how dreadful. I hope everyone is ok ?

what a shock for you all - glad you are ok. Bet you can do without any more excitement tonight eh?

Hope not too much damage to clear up.

The people next door have lost EVERYTHING.....Its SO upsetting to see the remains of their possessions spread in the front of their house, WE had a bit of trauma and inconvenience, but noway as bad as they must have had.all they had left was the clothes that they managed to grab in the panic? to get out....... and it was freezing Monday morning!
