Yesterday we had to be evacuated from our homes due to what was thought to be a 55inch live mortar bomb that was 300 meters from my house had to be out by 2pm, so i had to leave work early pick up the dogs from home go and get the kids from school and then wait around for the all clear.What excitement you think. NOT. There were police everywhere my house and road were totally blocked off had to leave the dogs in the car and go round to my friend Wendy's. Bless her she cooked the kids tea, while we watched what was going on, on the news.
The frightening thing was I had actually walked over this bomb several times when I walk the dogs down the shore, luckily it was found to be a dud, but it was a big as me, they had to dig a trench round it and wait for high tide so they could float it out and then detonate it.
The blockade got lifted and we were eventually allowed back in at 5.30pm, i'm not so sure about living on top of an old navel base now,it makes you wonder what is under the house you live in. Still at least it was an uneventfull day today.....
