floods and quakes

This is a photograph from our local newspaper, of Toby and some friends walking through the floods a couple of weeks ago. They were all sent home, late morning, on the school bus, but after a few miles, the bus couldnt go any further, so let some of the kids off, and then turned around to take most of them back to school again. Toby and co decided they would prefer to walk a few miles home through the floods rather than go back to school for afternoon lessons. He arrived home soaked from head to toe - quite an adventure!
Last night we were awakened by a loud noise and the most scarey sensation of our house moving, didnt know what it was untill this morning when we found out there had been an earthquake.
Anyway, back to jewellery, this evening Toby went to a jewellery workshop to learn a new technique, no doubt he will show you soon....
