5.2 Earthquake…

The biggest earthquake to hit the UK for nearly 25 years has toppled chimneys and left roofs in dangerous conditions in the Humber region.

The worst-hit area was Grimsby but other areas affected were Cleethorpes, Goole, Bridlington and Hull.

The British Geological Survey said the epicentre of the 5.2 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire.

This bad boy woke me up at 12.56am this morning. My whole bed was shaking and a few DVD’s fell off my bookcase. I normally sleep through anything but obviously not Earthquakes. It was quite an experience!

OAP at play
A playground designed specifically for pensioners has opened in a park in north Manchester.

The Older People’s Play Area on the Dam Head Estate in Blackley, is kitted out with equipment to strengthen hips, tone legs and train the upper body.

I’ve just watched the video of them all playing on the equipment! I want a go!
