I feel so sorry for all those folks trying to get elsewhere. One lady they interviewed on Sky News, y'day, she was hoping to get to her son, who has a brain tumour.............

I really feel for folk like that, but I do think that the non flying restrictions in place, right now, are correct.

Yes! They should be considered too!

Spare a thought for those who were evacuated from their homes.

me too! I worry it may affect their health!

well of course i am concerned about the health of my family what goes up must come down

but hopefully it will blow over England before it comes down

LOL Joy
No,no risk to us .

Are you concerned for your health and that of your family?

some say if you have breathing problems
it could become a risk
but some say no so who knows

i bought some michael jackson style face masks just in case

If this vocanic ash is in the atmostsphere is it polluting it? Is there any danger to us humans?

You can relax now Joy!!!!!!!! .......Washing???

that very kind of you Huia

Tourists from England who were due to fly back from NZ have a problem. If they leave now, with a stopover wherever, they could be stranded in wherever, which could affect their travel insurance. So their question is, do they chance it and head off in the direction of home or do they stay here until there is a definite 'all clear'. I did consider going to the airport to offer a bed for the night to 1 or 2 people, but if there is a chance that flights would be resumed quickly it might not be a good idea as I am about 45 mins drive from the airport.

Huia.

he was in showered and ready to hit he town
in less than 30 mins lol bless him

yes its a shame about the other lads

A shame about the other workers, but good to hear that he is safely home.

He will be home soon then Joy.Make sure that washing machine is empty and ready.Ironing board up and ready too lol

i think many businesses will suffer due to this


when we went out this morning
our car was covered in fine dust

One thing that has become obvious is just how much of our food is airlifted in. We were quite surprised.

my sons helicopter has landed safely thank god
he now has a 5 hour drive home
he used to fly down in a small aircraft
but last time he did it
he was with Billy Conley and his wife Pam
and it was a bad flight
so from then on he has drove down
