Just had to send a message to my partner (in Japan) to let him know about Manchester as some of his work collegues live there. Not the nicest of good morning / afternoon messages but he is optimistic that they are all safe.
When I go to work today I will be investigating what protocol we have for such incidents (we're only 55 miles from Manchester). We will be prepared to do what we can to help others.
Keep safe everyone; who knows what today will bring us. Hopefully cake.
Not much I can add to what's been said, except to say that ,the wonderful people who went out to do what they could to help others are the real face of humanity. The contemptible people who carry out these attacks are not humans.
I'm concerned about our friends here visiting Chelsea now.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Now the blackbirds are awake too ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Home now. I've asked Hubby What has happened in Manchester - he knew but hadn't told me. I know now. Barrrrrr! Terrible times we're living in.
On a different note - Hubby playing with his Drone behind the house - spot the two Roos. Mum and junior by the look of it.
What hideous news to wake up to

I'm tuned in to BBC World News. Theybshowed a photo of a girl who the parents haven't been able to contact. Such a worry for everyone. terrible news.
Shameful attack packing a bomb with nuts, bolts etc and targeted at young people.
Morning all.

Morning - a lovely sunny day - sadly marred by the dreadful news from Manchester. Hope nobody on here has been directly affected.
Hope Chicky (and anyone else going this week) has a wonderful time at Chelsea.
Good morning all ... Such despicable cowardice, targeting very young girls
Hope you have a better day Hosta ((hugs))
