My friend from University sent me this email this morning, she lives up the street from where the bomb(s) went off.
"Hello everyone in email land.
Well, firstly apologies for not writing more. Where does time go?
I thought I'd send out a quick email to let everyone out there know that James and I are OK here in London.
The explosions happened about 8:50am and fortunately we both start work at 8am here at the London Clinic hospital.
Where the explosions occurred are just down the road from us (Kings Cross and Edgware Road) and we indeed take the tube every day through Kings Cross as well as often catch the bus 205. However, thankfully everyone we know is well.
The city has ground to a halt, no services running at all, which it appears is what these sick hearted terrorists wanted.
We are both at work and will stay here till things settle down a bit. I think we may have a bit of a walk home tonight, but at least we won't be stranded like so many others (in fact we may have a few stranded coming with us too).
Hope everyone is well too
Love and hugs and thinking of everyone
