Our home wrecked by one firework on Saturday.

On Saturday night whilst the wife was watching Strictly come Dancing on TV and I was calming our eldest Chihuahua Ben (He's 15) in our Conservatory - he hates fireworks our house was struck on the roof by some sort of Rocket Aerial Bomb.

The firework smashed through the roof and set fire to the eaves storage area, the house has sustained substantial damage and we have been advised that it will be Easter before we are likely to be able to move back in.

We spent the first night at a neighbours and are currently staying in a Pet Friendly Hotel with two of our three Chihuahuas one who is pregnant for the first time. We have temporarily housed Ben with a friend due to his age.

Today we start to try and find a house to rent whilst our home is repaired. Luckily we are covered with our house insurance and have appointed an Independent Insurance Assessor to manage our situation.
