Dunno if you’ve seen that shocking business on the news about the house explosion, but it’s only about two miles down the valley from us. I’ve never seen a house so totally destroyed in a domestic explosion. Good bits: (a) no one’s actually been killed; (b) without waiting for the emergency services to arrive, the neighbours piled in before the dust had hardly settled and pulled the mother and two kids from the wreckage. Now that’s what I call community spirit – but then, this area’s always been famous for that.

Just looked it up, Richard. Quite a scene of devastation.
It looks awful – to see a house so completely destroyed. Thank goodness for the folks who acted quickly to get the mum and kids out.
More community spirit: a local councillor who lives close by started a support fund, setting a target of £10,000. It was reached in less than 36 hours (yes, I diod chip in).
*Did* Diodes have got nothing to do with it.
Poor family – what devastation. BUt it’s life affirming to hear of the community response. 🙂
