The recent tragic events in parts of Australia, together with the sweltering temperatures have cause us great concern. The reports on the BBC locally and World Services indicate a combination of natural and human-man disaster! Who in the world would cause the situation to be worse than it already is by lighting more fires and re-kindling those that have been brought under control is beyond my understanding!
I know my Mum had friends in Victoria, so we are thinking of them at this time. When we go down to Austwick next week I will get the address and drop them a line, not that we can do much from here.
On the political front Kevin Rudd has conducted himself with great humanity, dignity and empathy for those affected. He really seems a politician of priniciple. Shame we don't have many of them here!
Andy heads down below for his annual pilgrimage and we are in reflective mood thinking of last years visit with him to see Robin and his friends. Womderful memories that we hope one day we can recall here - about time Robin paid another regal visit to us! That was a hint my dear!
