Feeling Quiet
Did the Earth move for you ?
I pinched this from the welcome page !
Good morning and it is too, lovely bright sun shine, a bit brisk and breezy, would be a good wash day. Because Maurice has been off work, we have got into the habit of staying up late watching TV and last night was no exception .We finally retired about 12.30 .Maurice went straight to sleep ,I cant do that and often read for ages ,I was engrossed in my book, When just before 1- o- clock ,a sensation of sound perhaps a dull whoosh ,and then the bed juddered from side to side ,I leaned towards Maurice ! But he’d gone, he shot out of bed and snatched open the curtains, but by this time there was nothing to see, he did a tour of the bungalow, spoke to Kizzie who was looking bewildered, then I did a tour ! We decided it had been an Earth quake .We awake this morning to the news that, that indeed was the case 5.2 on the Richter scale and the strongest for 25 years, the epicentre was in Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, though it was felt right through England and Scotland …….so there you go I just wanted to put that on record, Have a good day everyone, with love from

Nope, we never knew a thing Jan, and it was right on our doorstep. My friend who lives about a mile away said it sounded as if a locomotive was running through the house! I suppose it would depend on where the fault line runs but I don't know.

How scary that earthquake must have been!...I didn't get anything down this neck of the woods...the last time I ever remember being afraid of something like that was I was just married with my eldest son being a small baby and a bomb went off in Aldershot. I lived on the outskirts but was in my kitchen with mum and we felt the red pottery tiles really groaning under out feet! The sensation went up our complete bodies, it was strange and scary. It turned out to be the Officers Mess and my friends sister was killed, she was a waitress...bad times!...Linda x x
