Snapped Chain

After negotiating 3 hours 'off' on Sunday for a ride (no mean feat with the 3 kids under 3!)- I got 600 metres from home when my chain snapped!
I was on a roundabout of a major A-road in top cog when it went ping.....
Two questions-
Is it my fault for pulling away still in top cog?
Is it easy to adjust a new chain length or will I just make more mess?
Cheers
Ben

Taya chains appear to be stocked by Halfords as their budget brand; I just fitted one on my son's mtb so that will be a good test of it's longevity. I'll report back if it fails prematurely.

Also, if I pitch my bike into the bushes I haven't got a team lackey to get me another one,
well i say walked... more like waddled in the shoes .
