    Puts life into perspective........

    With all the news on TV lately about the hurricanes that America is experiencing, the typhoons in China, flooding in Switzerland and recent mud slides in South America, we shouldn't forget that the UK has its share of devastating weather too. Below is a photo illustrating the damage caused to my friend's home in The New Forest from the storm that passed through last night. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.

    Take care of yourselves and be safe.
