Genie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just now, sidcow said: Where your based? Heard a load of sirens in Shirley not long after it started. Tamworth. Looks like 2 houses struck at the same time on opposite sides of the road. Sister in law says fire crews are on her estate, about a mile away. A friend on facebook says house on fire in Dosthill which is about 2 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 11, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2023 You lot are all so yesterday. We had all that thunder and lightning yesterday, today has just been coolish and cloudy, with bits of sun. Though I'm not having to consider air con because our living room in is the basement of a house with walls that must be 2 foot thick. Even in the height of yesterdays heat, our living room was cool. Our little courtyard (which is also at basement level) was roasting but just step inside and bingo, really quite cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
