Rotten week, but getting better.

In the last 7 days I have discovered the power of Mother Nature. A storm over Ipswich last Thursday scored a direct lightning strike on our house, setting fire to the TV in our bedroom and taking the chest of drawers underneath with it. 

Although the fire was confined to one room, the smoke damage is extensive. We've lost almost all our possessions that were on the first floor and looks like we'll be out of the house for at least 3 months. 

Thankfully nothing too sentimental was destroyed, except for some hard earned Club Triumph T-Shirts which were in those drawers. Thought I'd take these poinient pics of them before they got binned. 



On a more positive note, my estate has had it's frilly extremities replaced by Andy Dann. New front valence, lower front wing corners and lower rear wing corners. Top job! Some before and after pics below.
