Eeeeek! Just how close to life can this tale get? Two evenings ago, we endured one of the most noisy and persistent electrical storms here in Storrington that I have ever witnessed, anywhere. Yesterday, I learned that a house, not 200 yards from The Kilt Kollection, had been struck and damaged by lightening. Fortunately, my home suffered nothing more than a complete inability to access the Internet by any means yesterday morning, although my telephone and power was unaffected. An hour-long visit from the village computer whizz-kid, probable cost £35 - £40, put things right as far as I can tell.

Do you read palms, tealeaves and tarot cards, Pleater?

Take care,
Ham.
