One can't help but wonder at the terror and trials the Nepalese people face. When I was feeling sorry for myself and somewhat depressed at the election news. Bemoaning the outcome of a mere quarter of the British voting population putting a Conservative government in place over the majority of us again we can but reflect that at least we are safe from such terrible natural disasters
