Don't Panic
A murder, a robbery and why do they cause such a stir, because they are so far removed from what we know to be our life here. Yes, there is the odd robbery but we talk about it because it is so unusual. When you arrive from England you have left behind alarms linked to the Police Station, lights that come on spotting intruders, neighbourhood watch and you knew these things were needed. All of us have stories in the UK of break ins, cars going missing and it was a way of life. Putting things in perspective here, 'we have the odd robbery' I am not saying be complacent but I am saying ' chill, relax and a glass of red, Bordeaux for me'.
