It's shaken everyone up because someone died. A car mounted the kerb and hit two ladies standing outside the newsagents.
Two weeks ago, Susie was standing there with the twins and Mair eating an ice cream.
It sends shudders down my spine.
For me it is yet another reminder of how fragile life is, how it can disappear in a flash.
To be grateful of all I have instead of dwelling on other, less important things.
My thoughts are with the ladies family tonight, and the driver who survived and with the people who were so shaken at witnessing such a thing in such a sleepy village.
I think we are all feeling the same, remembering times we have stood there, not a care in the world, chatting, eating ice-cream, looking through the window at the toys on display with our children. None of us ever thought this would happen, it is utterly heartbreaking and I feel terribly sad for those involved and for those who will have to live with the consequences of this tragic accident. I didn't witness it, I have only seen the pictures online and on the news but still I did not sleep well at all thinking about those poor ladies. So so sad for our village.
