For those following our story, we ended the year with Christmas with my family in Adelaide. We also caught up with numerous friends during our stay. Christmas was particularly good , not only because we were cocooned in love for the whole time, but we had both my niece Jade and her partner Mitsu as well as my nephew Locky and his partner Winnie together with us, which was a first for Christmas.
We got word just after Christmas that Bruce's dad was not too good, so we drove back across to Sydney and were very fortunate to be able to spend his last week with him. Between us and Helen, Bruce's sister, we were able to stay with him around the clock for his last 5 days. This gave us all time to share our love with him and say any words we needed to say. Arty passed away on Sunday January 5th . He was aged 93.
Back to Nymboida
We finally arrived back home on Sunday Jan 12th . We have set up our initial camp (pics below) . . .
We took a long walk to the top of the ridge where our house is located. Before the fire we had never been able to get through the thick lantana and bush to see what was there, but with the clean sweep of the fire all of our land, and that of our neighbours is visible.
Four days later we are on our way to Queensland to pick up our new camper.
