The Earth moved...

Sometimes the improbable becomes a reality and it shows how out of touch I am with life in England that it was not until I rang home to mum that I heard that Britain had been hit by the largest earthquake recorded there in over twenty years… and that Market Rasen – where mum lives – was at the epicentre.

Fortunately, at 5.2 on the Richter scale, it’s not a major cause of panic & mayhem – but it is big enough to be felt across the country – and when you wake up in the middle of the night with the house shaking you don’t actually know how big this is…
But, as you can see below there are actually quite a lot of earthquakes around if you know where to look...
