  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Dulwich Road

this is so sad...i live 2 roads away and my brother 1 road away...the blast shook my house and what seemed like hundreds of birds were flying around...my daughters friend and colleague lives with her 2 young children and partner in the house to the right of the one where the explosion happened and was totally wrecked and most likely will be demolished...at the time of the blast mom and children were not at home which is nothing short of a miracle however dad was at home and although he was thrown to the other side of the room he survived...from what i hear the community are rallying around to help the affected families...

my sincere condolences to the family of doreen aged 79 who sadly died and my thoughts are with dave who is in hospital
