No Words...


I don't feel as though any words seem quite right today when so many people in Queensland are experiencing so much saddness and devastation. It all seems so close to home when I read posts by fellow bloggers who are in the thick of it all. Please keep all those affected by the floods in your thoughts and prayers...

  7. Jennie & Julie - you're right, those here in WA who have lost their home due to a deliberately lit fire have also found themselves with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

  9. Yes, Amanda, words seem so empty and hollow right now. At least they think the Brisbane River has peaked. What a huge logistical task lies ahead. J x
