You may have seen today’s news about a large fire at a fireworks warehouse in East Sussex, with its sad outcome.
Our home is approximately 10 kilometres from the site of the fire. We had already heard distant sirens as fire crews and ambulances headed for the scene (although at that time we had no idea what the cause was). Then the house was rocked by a massive blast – big enough to shake the whole building, scaring up the cats and local birds and causing at least one other of my neighbours to come out to see what had happened. Goodness knows what it must have been like to be closer to the explosion.

Blimey, I missed the news of this until today.
You wouldn’t have missed it if you’d been round these parts.
