And I didn't even think to put my message in a 2014 thread plus put out seeds that need bushfires to germinate!! ;) ;D
Fire engines still patrolling locally - just had one drive around over the creek. Yeah for the Country Fire Service volunteers and personnel who did so much. A little yellow plane plots the actual fire perimeters.

So glad your fine, Pat !!  :D :D

We are SOOOOO happy - There is wonderful news about our great-niece. Christina ( now 4) who  has been given a thorough check and it seems that her liver is clear, now sign of tumours anywhere else and  remaining kidney looks clear and is working well.

 She still has to go to Glasgow soon for a final check from the surgeon, but  the Oncologists are happy that she just gets regular check ups from now on - we couldn't be more pleased - it's better than we could ever have hoped.

The poor wee soul has been undergoing lots of chemotherapy as well as major surgery for malignant tumours on both kidneys and liver.

She has been so very brave all through this horrible process - so proud of her.

 What a relief!

Excellent news! It`s Christmas in January for me; a parcel of plants from Tom Mitchell, my SRGC surplus seeds, my AGS seeds, and my seeds from Brno all arrived this week. All I have to do now is grow them!

Ye, it is truly wonderful - you can only imagine how ecstatic  Christina's  parents are.

Maggi so pleased to hear your news. I can't imagine what the wee lass went through. Nice to have some good news.

I picked my niece up from hospital today, in two weeks time she starts her Chemo and Radiotherapy , and then she will have to go through the reconsrtuctive surgery. My heart goes out to her. I hate this disease.

Your support will mean the world to her, Angela - loved ones are so important to help keep up morale while going through all the horrible treatment. And Lola will  do her part too, just by being Lola!

Give her our best wishes, please
