A roller coaster week..

 

 I haven't dared to mention it in case I put a jinx on it. We have been waiting to hear if my son and family who live in Sydney would be able to come home for Christmas. They made it within hours of our WA border restrictions to NSW toughening up again. It has been a year since we saw them last Christmas so I'm sure you will understand that I want to spend every minute I can with them. It has been a dreadful year for all, a tragic year for so many, all we can do is hope for a much better 2021. Thank you for all the positive comments throughout the year, I appreciate them more than you can imagine. See you back here around the 8th Jan, in the meantime take care and stay as safe as you can 💙

  14. Dearest Grace,
    This is the first time I view your post after my eye surgery (yesterday) and today's post-op was fine. All is well and I'm very grateful.
    May your visit from son and family be a joyful time for all!
    We live through another Christmas for the two of us; as usual for 37 years now. That's okay, the price tag for 1st generation immigrants. Travel is way too high around this time of the year due to Europe's ski season.
    Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  26. That was so lucky that they got there before the border closed. We too were lucky with our Sydney family getting here before the border restrictions. Ours say they will stay in QLD until its all sorted. So thats good news for us.

  28. I was thinking of you as the border closed yet again and was hoping your family arrived in a nick of time. I am glad they did. I am going off the air while I rethink my priorities ... but want to wish you a very Happy New Year.

  32. Hope you had a nice holiday season and that this year is better for all of us. I got my first dose of the vaccine a few days ago, so I'm excited at the prospect of feeling more comfortable about resuming a more normal life. Happy New Year!
