Ok Daphne
I read on one site the Duchess of Habsburg but can't find which site it was. She was from the House of Habsburg on another but was named Duchess of Hoehenburg ...so confusing

When I lived in South Wales
The place I lived at was Pontneddfechan in Welsh and Pontneathvaughan in English so I suppose it's the same thing really

Oh so maybe they will be Ok if the fire has passed I do hope so.

Did the truck hit the house because of Visibility problems with the smoke
