FIRE!





We're certainly not boring.

After a frantic diner of Tandoori Chicken, Channa Gobi Balti, Tarka Dahl and Pappadams,Thursday evening, Sherry and I decided to go upstairs and watch TV before cleaning up. We thought all on the stove was off, but it wasn't, and their was hot, hot, oil. The whole house is covered in soot and stinks. My brand new iMac seems fine but the keyboard is filthy with the soot... I'm near tears, BUT we are all alive. Liam found the fire, got his brother while screaming fire, Cameron thought fast and got the fire extinguisher, Andrew used it while Cam got Pippa out of the house. As the fire chief said, the boys saved the Rectory by their quick and calm reactions.
