At 6.41am this morning there was an almighty sound of a crash and we were both woken with a start (and I looked at the clock! ?). I immediately assumed our daft cat had knocked something onto the floor somewhere in the house but nothing could have prepared us for what we found. The glass tabletop on our dining room table had shattered into a thousand pieces all over our stripped wooden dining room floor. Glass EVERYWHERE and this weird shattering noise that continued whilst we were clearing it up.
H had put a couple of tomato plants in plastic pots on the table about a week ago and there were a couple of unopened letters on it too but nothing else. One of the metal dining room chairs had been tipped up.
We have no idea what could have caused this to happen. We've rung our Contents Insurance to put in a claim and we've found a company online that make replacement table tops which is fabulous because we don't want a whole new set - we love ours and we just want a bit of glass on the top so we can use it again.
Very odd though. And not a great way to start the weekend!
