Bit scarey, we have had them before, and i am about three hours drive away, but still one can never get complacent about it all.
it is about to rain in my city today, so it is hard to tell if it is clouds for that or ash, but it could well be ash,fingers crossed all will be well,keep us in your prayers many thanks.
