Xmas

The wind has moved to the south at last bringing some coolness. The fire situation won't be over till we get proper rain, but it's certainly eased dramatically. I'm off down to Melbourne to have Xmas with the Briedis Gang, so no blog updates for a few days.

Thanks to all the people who phoned and rang and sent nice words of encouragement during the last few weeks. It's been tougher than we thought it was going to be, and all those nice vibes really helped. Made us feel not so far away. And it was really great to have such enthusiastic feedback about the blog - it's made it all the more fun to do.

Here's the last of the 'fire' pics for a while. Some more babies next I think.....

A bit of the spotfire burn just up the lane a couple of days ago.
