We are back home again, and it appears we missed all the excitement. Three fire engines and all the tenants evacuated, and we missed it by a few hours, and only missed seeing the last of it by a few minutes. The only evidence we have that anything happened is the faint smell of smoke and, of course, the write-up in the local papers.

Quite an anti-climax to our fortnight away which, as you can see by the write-up, was disappointingly free of catastrophe, leaving me little to write about.

But, I'll take that trade-off any day.
