On Friday, along with many millions of others across the country ..........

....... we received the wildfire alert from the government.

To be honest, living where we do, we had grown increasingly aware of how dry the bank must have become after so many weeks without a single drop of water and in turn, how vulnerable it and The Towers could be after such a prolonged series of heatwaves.

So, we, lead naturally, by Darrell, sprang into action, should we have to evacuate in a matter of seconds .......

....... we've packed all our absolute essential essentials (plus clean pants) and put  them right next to the front door to just grab and go if the unthinkable should, heaven forbid, happen ........

It's a truly awful thought, but you know us, we would never want to be found wanting!
