I arrived home to hear that there had been an explosion in Chelmsford, the county town of Essex. The explosion happened in an electricity sub-station in Bishop Hall Lane. My daughter works in the centre of town in County Hall. I immediately rang her - she's fine - she's been watching smoke for most of the day. My God-daughter goes to school there, she was shut in the school for a while for fear that the fumes would affect her. She's been allowed out and is home now.

Chelmsford is about 10 miles north of Billericay, and is a common destination for work, shopping and entertainment.

Hutton & Shenfield Choral Society
Last night we went to hear the Hutton & Shenfield Choral Society present Handel's Messiah. It was a very enjoyable evening. Read my report here.
Only sad note, there was an accident in Duke Street that resulted in a death. There was a motor bike lying in the road. That's all I know. Set me wondering we'd had such an enjoyable evening, but someone somewhere would be dealing with the surprise news of the death of a relative. What a contrast. There but for the Grace of God .... etc.
