I'm glad you posted this Julie, or we wouldn't have known anything about it!

We live a few miles away and, although I woke up very early this morning I'm not aware of hearing anything. My daughter was woken by a loud bang about 6 o'clock and, as she heard nothing else, she assumed she'd dreamt it and went back to sleep and didn't mention anything to us until I put on the tv just now.

We are about to set off to go to my in-laws, which means a journey up the M1 normally. Thanks to this post we can look for an alternative route as the M1 is closed.
