Thank you for your best wishes to all those in the bushfire areas.
The area which is the hardest hit - the Blue Mountains - is my favourite place to visit. I feel very saddened for all those who have lost all their life's hard work and of course for all the lovely native animals. We are living with the constant smell of bushfire smoke and an awful orange glow in the sky.
They have over 1000 personnel trying to fight the "savage beast" that is just raging out of control. As well as the very high temps we are also experiencing extremely strong hot gusty winds which are whipping up the flames and spreading the fire. A very sad and worrying time for all.
We are desperate for rain.
