The M5 has reopened, following the crash  that involved 34 vehicles.  Teams have worked tirelessly, to get clear the aftermath, and gather evidence,trying and get some perspective into what caused this tragic accident  that claimed the lives of 7 people, and caused injuries to many more, some of which are life changing.

 Investigators are now looking more closely at the fireworks display that was taking place at the Taunton Rugby Club, just a few hundred yard from the crash site.  Sources at the rugby club has stated  that the display finished at 8.15, it is thought that it is possible that the thick smoke left from the fireworks finale, may have lingered in the air due to the lack of wind that evening, settling down over the road at around 8.30pm. This may have caused restricted vision to motorists. There are also reports of very heavy fog. a full investigation is under way, and police say that they will be thorough and leave no stone unturned in their quest for the answers.

my personal thoughts go out to the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives, and thoughts go out to those still critically injured, and those recovering at home.

 The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have finally decided where hey will live, whilst carrying out their royal duties in London. The newly married couple have chosen a large apartment in Kensington Palace, once habited by Prince Williams Great Aunt, Princess Margaret. The apartment is due to have extensive renovations carried out including complete rewiring, removal of asbestos and new water system, so the couple will not actually move in until 2013.

They currently live in a smaller apartment at the same palace, which Prince Harry is reported to be moving into, from his current abode at Clarence house,once it has been vacated.

Things are going very well for the popular royal couple, after a very successful and high profile tour of Canada and the US, they returned home to start their first of many royal duties, charity work and appearances, although these are being kept to a minimum as to not overshadow The Queen in the run up to her Diamond jubilee.
