A mother and daughter are lucky to be alive after an 80-year-old WWII grenade they found on the beach exploded in their kitchen sink.  Jodie Crews, 38, and her daughter Isabella, eight, of Deal, Kent, initially thought the grenade was a fossil or old bone.  Ms Crews said: 'I posted photos on fossil and archaeology sites and had lots of replies but no one suggested it could be a grenade. 'One woman thought it looked like whale vomit and said I could find out by poking it with a hot pin. She said a puff of white smoke would come out.' However, Ms Crews and Isabella then received the shock of their lives when the grenade suddenly burst into flames in the dining room of their home.    The World War II grenade burned itself out in the sink but melted part of the plastic windowsill, damaged the sink and filled the house with smoke Ms Crews said: 'It just turned into a fireball. My daughter screamed and ran out the back door. I grabbed the grenade and ran with it at arms'

And when those who are immunocompromised or most vulnerable couldn't leave their homes, we, as a community, showed up to deliver the food
