Safe So Far

Just a quick post to say we are safe so far from the devastating bush fire that has claimed so many homes around our local community. Sadly some of our friends and my customers have lost houses and animals and my heart goes out to them. Please give clothing, blankets, food and whatever you can spare to help people affected by this disaster.

Cheers
Kez

Oh Kerry I'm so sorry to hear that. I have seen coverage of the fire on the news. I'm glad you are safe and thoughts and prayers go out for your friends and neighbors. Thanks for letting us know you're okay.

Thanks for the update, I had been wondering how you were faring. It looks like most of the devastation is on the the other side of Hawksberry Road, but very close to you. I'm sure you have had a few sleepless nights. Let's hope the RFS and all the fabulous volunteers can gets the fires all over NSW under control and everyone in danger stays safe.

Thanks ladies. Robyn, I think you'll find on the map that our street was almost encircled by fires and the devastation in Emma Parade, Yellow Rock etc is this side of Hawkesbury Road, not the other side.

So relieved to hear you are safe. Do hope the atrocious conditions are improving for you. Saw a photo of the smoke in Berry so imagine how bad it must be for you in Winmalee. Do take care. Thinking of you and family. Lol
