good morning all.we are all safe and sound here this morning.the confusion arose because of rumours on facebook and also a bus coming towards town was surrounded by riot police and the passengers were told to get off as there was a riot in our hometown, but it wasn`t.it was cheadle in manchester, not our cheadle.
the police are still being aware though which is good but my heart really does go out to all of you who have been affected, i feel ashamed to be british at the  moment.

I am safe where I am (in the highlands) but my home town of Nottingham (and 5 Police stations were firebombed last night) :(

I still have a lot of friends on the job and where I used to work, so it was very worrying.

Anyway, your card made me smile! :) Love the pearls with the pearly card and the colouring on the flowers is just lush!
