I’m so glad that we’re all safe and well after Hurricane Nicole – that could have been so much worse if we hadn’t all been so well-prepared!  As always, we are all hugely thankful for those who worked throughout the storm to make life safer for the rest of us, including the emergency services, Royal Bermuda Regiment, BELCO, W&E, the Weather Service, the EMO and many more. And to all our friends overseas, thanks for the prayers, concern and good vibes that you sent our way!
