Recent happenings.

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Ditto to all of the above.

And it was only last weekend T1, Margaret & Coco were showing us their new motorhome on an overnighter with us!
If we were closer, we could offer them accommodation.
Still, as David said, T1, if you need anything (well, obviously ATM you need everything, but you know what I mean) put out a call and we'll all do what we can to help.
Sending you our love & prayers.

Regards & God bless,

Thank you all for your thoughts and good wishes. Sadly, all our family memorabilia and photo albums, both sides, is now gone. We had made two back ups of our computers, one in the house and the other in the motorhome, all gone, all the yrs of research and testing, paperwork and even the insurance policys, all gone ..... even the creeper vine given to us by Ballarat Bill & Lesley that we rescued from the workshop, finally getting just the mix of sunlight and wind protection to really get going across the front patio, is no more ...... sounds silly I know, but it's just the strangest things that cross my mind ....

It's hard to believe that so much pain can happen to such good people...
Words just can't tell it really.
My heart goes out to you both, I know you are strong, but???

As mentioned by all the other friends, if we can help we are most happy to be called on.
Currently living in Aldinga Beach.

What is a bugga is that my brother died a couple of weeks ago and we virtually gave away a whole house load of furniture.. :cry:

Margaret and Terry, this news is so scary for you both.
I suspect that it may be some of the sillier things that will help to keep you both sane. Do check that there is not a tiny skerrick of green in that vine Terry, it may just be a good omen.

Anything at all that we can help with, just ask and we will be there., whether it's in accommodation, cash or just moral support, please ask. You have had your share of the crap hitting the fan. Time for a fresh start. xxxxxxxxx

Next door neighbour made up a video for us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKB0dYjApLY&t=26s How did the Kombi survive that? If it wasn't for the fireman (just visible) training a hose up there and the direction the wind was blowing saved it. You can see in the second part how far the diesel ran across the front yard .....

Video just worked for me. That is really bringing it all to home. Someone out there really has a cruel tendency. That is horrific.
Hope the insurance companies understand this is not your work, but an arsonist of the worst kind.
