We are relieved to share we are home, and that we still have a home (well yurt) to return too. Sadly not everyone is so lucky. Including people just a little further up our road.
But by golly, it has been a long, exhausting and stressful week. The fires are still burning, though the ones near us are considered to be 'under control'. The firies have been doing an amazing job of fighting the fires, back burning and building fire breaks. Working in crews around the clock. Hopefully, these fires will now begin to burn themselves out though everyone remains on high alert for spot fires.
Home, it was good to see this little place of ours.
The view looking out from our yurt. The heavy smoke obscures the hills.
The air quality remains terrible. Yesterday we got a brief reprieve when a lovely breeze pushed it away but today it is back. Grant and Henry have been struggling with asthma and are taking regular Ventolin.
Slowly and surely we are beginning to catch up on rest and feel a little more like ourselves.
The animals are all home again and they look very happy to be together. Today Grant and Will are chipping away at working on the mezzanine/loft area of the yurt. Apparently, this baby will be here in roughly 12.5 weeks so we really need to get cracking. Where does time go?
The same view pre-bushfires.
Just a quick post today, to let you all know we are home. Thank you for all the well wishes and concern for our home and our family. It means a lot to know there are so many people out there who care.
Much love,
Emma
