Electric Dreams

Yesterday was a bit of a disaster at Devant towers. We, like several of the surrounding villages, experienced a power cut that started late morning and continued until 8.30pm. Although our laptops had a couple of hours' battery life, we were unable to send or receive email. Even the local mobile base station was out, so telephony was a challenge too.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at how dependent we are on those little moving electrons - in both our domestic and business lives. But it certainly made me glad that the age of the fully automated house hasn't arrived yet! It was quite romantic eating our fish and chips by candlelight, but being locked out of an electric house would have been quite another story...

All's back to normal today, and hopefully we've caught up with all of yesterday's emails. If you tried to call or to leave us a voicemail yesterday please do try again! Or you can always email me at tiffany.kemp@devant.co.uk.
