Well the days are flying past – like all holidays do, and I have just one week left until I start back at work. *insert groan here*.
+ We spent a few days with my family in the Blue Mountains this week. It was fabulous. I got to spend some time with my sisters, and even got an hour and a half with out kids (our first since November, and second since April). We got to look at my sisters photos from where she lives in South East Asia, and I got to dream about visiting there again sometime (hopefully soon!)
+ As you know, I have a permanent job in our local town. I have been struggling with this because my heart is in the mountains, close to my parents and a sister. Driving around the mountains, it feels like home to me. At the same time, my life is becoming more centred on our farm and our life down here. Talk about feeling torn.
+ While we were in the mountains, we took the kids on a ride on the train. Toby had never been on one before, and was completely over awed by it. We enjoyed waiting and watching the train arrive. The trip down the mountains has beautiful views, and best of all goes through a tunnel.
+We desperately need some cooler weather and some rain!!! As I write we have a fire about 30 km away. Country Boy and his father are on standby for property protection should it come closer. We have a fire plan ready to activate. Hopefully we don’t need to use it.
Have your say...
