  • Sorry Pat.  Not good timing given your news; hope those poor people are ok.  We are so lucky in the UK.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    That's OK Liri.  Many of our native plants have that as well (needing fire to Break the dormancy). I find those programs fascinating as well.

    Topbird, if it's not breaching privacy, I'd be interested to know where your SIL lives (Roughly any way). I'd Iike to know if she's OK..I've got a friend who lIves sort of between Goulburn and Yass on a back road, but I know she's ok at the moment. My daughter is there because they're having a birthday party there tonight.

  • Hope everyone's loved ones are ok. 

    I remember my cousins telling me of the terror of being caught up in the Tas fires a few years ago. ((Hugs)) to all. 

    And now ... If you're ready ...

    Tummo Dove. Very tempting.

    Topbird, I just realised that you won't get a response from your SIzl because it's after 1am here. image

    Night all

    Just in case you're still awake Pat...

    SIL lives in Isabella Plains which is a suburb in the south of Canberra. She always describes herself as living 'outside' Canberra but (now I've actually looked at a map) it looks pretty much part of it! MIL always describes her as being north of Canberra - but she's not! 

    Can you tell we haven't been out to see her since she moved from Nowra about 5 years ago?

    Anyway, she looks to be well away from the fires you were describing - but you've reminded me that an email or SKYPE call is overdue so I'll do that later tonight.

    Hope it cools down for you soon!image

    Could have done with oneof those for lunch Dove  image

    It's brightened here, so I'm off to do summat outside. Perhaps the job I was meant to do yesterday...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Topbird, yes Isabella Plains is south Canberra. My daughter lives in Bonython which is also near there 

    going to sleep now, catch you all later.
