    did not have a great day yesterday.one of our local fisher men has been lost at sea.its been very sad helicopter was out right up until dark,also rescue boats ,and bang in the middle of all that, my little neighbour sweet caroline came to my door for help saying something was wrong with her husband.when we went in to her house he was already dead ,so it was midnight before i got everything settled.it took the police 3hrs to get hold of a doctor before they could remove the body,her two daughters live so far away,they didn't arrive till 11pm, they then took her to her own house to try and settle her she is in total shock,he had just eaten his dinner and died at the table.thats the chopper back out searching,
    the boat washed into our shore at 2pm yesterday
    our thoughts are with both families kathy

    not yet Kath, was speaking to one rescuer this morning,they are now going right along the coast line,and in all the caves,he said it could 6 to 8 weeks,seemingly if the body is trapped,it will fill up with gas,before coming to the surface,his family are devastated,to think i was out there a month ago,its giving me the creeps talk soon kathy

    :( Hi Kathy, What a day it was...
    I am so sorry to read of this. As he was a local fisherman I take it you knew him, or of the family.. What a terrible shock for the family too.. My heart goes out to them, a very difficult time for them I am sure..
    Then to have your neighbor dash in like that.. What a shock for you both.. I am sure your neighbor is devastated & feeling lost by that happening so quickly... I just thank goodness you were there for her Kathy.. I hope you are coping with it all too.. Have you all in my prayers....

    Kathy3, my love. Not one terrible incident but two in one day. You are in my thoughts and heart.

    I have to speak here for me and my Sis as she is in the States at the moment and I know she will have the same sentiments as me.

    Love from us both. [​IMG] xx
