    Good morning everyone
    I hope no-one was blown away in the storms and that you've all escaped unscathed. My neighbour's shed flew past my bedroom window on Wednesday but there was minimal damage to property in my immediate area (me, my Mum and my sister live within five minutes walk of each other).
    The church minibus has a new home but there was another attack on Friday night - the car this time. I saw the youths running away and the police have visited them but they denied doing it. The police officer said they are from 'a nice family' so I was obviously mistaken! Apparently I am now part of the briefing the local police have at the start of each shift - I don't know whether to be comforted or horrified!
    I managed to wrap all the birthday presents for Feb to June this week. I must ask my sister exactly what my youngest nephew wants - he told me that all of his friends had 90 wrestling figures from their aunties!
    Hugs to all who need them
    Sam

    Can you set up some sort of CCTV system or a sign saying there is one in operation .

    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.
