An Ambulance Ride for George !

Well hello all, I hope you've all had a good start to the Year ! 

We have been very quiet again, I'm sorry, but for a very good reason. 🙁 

We returned from our holidays with family in January and a day later George had a fall from a ladder while putting our Christmas decorations back into storage in the roof. 

A few days later he had hip surgery for a femoral neck fracture and remained in hospital for 3 weeks for rehab. He has now had 6 weeks with no weight bearing until it was clear that the surgery went well. He has just this Thursday been given the go ahead for weight bearing and physio. We are hoping that in another 4 to 6 weeks he will have the all clear to leave Sydney. 

In the meantime, I returned to the station in Central Qld four weeks ago for work. It has been a huge step for me to return on my own. George and I have never been separated for more than a week or two, and that no more than a few times in 33 years. I also rely on him so much for support. 

While the school weeks are busy the weekends are quiet and slow, and having returned by plane I have no transport. Hence updates to the blog will be less as there is less to do.
(Ps roads were cut by flooding the same week we were due to return so maybe it was meant to be.)

We are hoping to be back on the road in April !

In the meantime, you may like to catch up on our weekly/daily news on our FB page that we began to trial at the end of last year. Due to the fact we work on outback properties, internet, data speed, bandwith and phone service are not reliable so we have had a lot of difficulty with the upload of photos to the blog. I love my blog and will continue with it, but for more regular smaller updates during the week our FB page will be used.
