We have a houseful at present - husband's 3 'kids' plus partners. Family of son's girlfriend are in SE India - she had a phone call from them today. Her parents were actually on a seafront hotel near Madras, luckily on the 2nd floor at the time the wave hit, they walked about 5 miles inland and eventually got transport to another hotel. All safe and well! Thoughts and prayers with those bereaved and those awiting news.

Hello Sheila, I watched the news for the first time this evening and sat there stunned at the horror of it all - thank goodness her family was OK. I pray for all those bereaved familes and, for those that are waiting for news, the strength to see them through this dreadful time. Magsxx
