On July the 7th, 2005, four bombs changed Britain forever.

The State of Terror. Listen on BBC Sounds.

Perfect timing.

Just finishing off this email.

Did you manage to check over all the kit?

Yes, looking fine. I'm pleased to say. I don want any nasty surprises once we get going with the barley tomorrow. No, you really don't, Stella. Anyway, I'm glad you've had a good morning because I need your full attention over lunch. Uh-huh. I want to go over Rosie's presents again and decide what's going in her party bags.

I saw Ed out there with the drone.

What's he up to?

Oh, he's practicing so he can get aerial shots of their tree surgery.

For publicity?

Mm-hmm. That's clever.

We'll be once he gets the hang of fly here.
