Thank you for spending the time to share your experience of the big earthquake.

I can understand that you thought it might have been the boys messing about when you came down the stairs.

The turtle is a good thing isn’t it? It seems to have worked well.

I hope your family and house are all well. Most importantly the family!

Please take care and just to let you know there are people all around the world hoping the very best for you.

From Ella in Auckland.
