Update...

It's good to know that friends and families are safe. In trying not to overload the phones so disaster messages can be sent out, we play a waiting game until we are informed all ok.

It was amazing to hear my hometown of Pyramid Hill had flooded around the Hill and up to the town boundary, and people were using canoes for transport. Luckily my old home was not flooded and old friends two doors up were not flooded, although they have been part of the workforce with the sandbagging etc.

Let's hope the water runs away reasonably quickly, to allow normality to return.

Early February, I will be giving Spinning lessons at a newly opened shop in Rushworth.

Wendy Cooke is the proprietor of Rushwool Knit and Yarn, and kindly asked if I could do lessons, and we have decided to do lessons on a Monday for a three week block. As it is a small area classes are limited to 2 persons, which I hope to give each person more attention. I am looking forward to this as it has been one of my future goals.
