Earthquake

Did you hear about the earthquake that we experienced here at around 1 am on Tuesday morning? Thank you to everyone for contacting us to find out if we were okay; we were fine albeit a bit shaky at the time. It turned out that we were only about 20 miles from the epicentre which they say was at Market Rasen. I have to admit that I was quite scared when it happened - I was in my grooming room brushing out Calvin (I often groom in the early hours as it is so lovely and peaceful with no interuptions) I could not believe it – everywhere shook, it was like a huge juggernaut was passing close by, I thought my room was going to collapse! The dogs just couldn’t believe it - they just sat up as though glued to the spot (some reports said that the animals around them were all making a noise but mine were deadly silent). Gordon was in the house and he said the whole house shook too and all the pipes where rattling and things were moving! The strangest thing was that Calvin was being really naughty while I was grooming him for about an hour before it happened which was out of character for him, not wanting to lay down and shaking...he must have known that something was going to happen because he is never normally like that?

Anyway it was certainly an experience, but I hope one that won’t repeat itself too soon.
