Chris I don't live in Kent, although I used to, but my brother and his wife still do. They are far enough away (Chatham) that they had no repurcussions from that earthquake, fortunately.

I moved westwards, and have lived in Surrey (London borders) since 1988. Still doesn't stop me supporting the hospital that should be treating Shirley (if they had the facilities) and did look after my Mum during her last illness.

Thanks for you good wishes.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
