Hi Bev, saw this on the local news, pretty horrendous. What a lucky escape that there were no casualties. Thinking of you all down there, take care, love Mandy xx

thankyou jacky i think we got the very tail end of the Asia earthquake it did make the local news, there are families here with no roofs of windows to their houses, getting a roofer at the mo is like gold dust i just hope it doesn't rain till we get our roof repaired, we have lost tiles. but nothing like the disaster that otheres have suffered across the world Bev

Sorry to hear about this. I think under normal circumstances, this would have appeared on the news. I hope the damage is easily repairable and that no one has suffered too much. Jacky xx
