My Mum's garden at Christmas. What can I say. Like so many overseas, I am consumed by helplessness and am obsessed with any coverage of the Victorian Bush fires. The immense scale of devestation and loss of life fills me with shock and sadness for this country I love so much. My family are still safe thank goodness but all my thoughts and prayers are with them and will be until the last flame is out. The only thing I would like to say is please visit my sister's blog, Lucy Bowler as she wrote a terrific post on just what we can do to help.
