I had lots of support, my son came from Sydney and people were amazing afterwards, just turned up with shovels, barrows and good will and got to work. The whole of South Murwillumbah was under water, some worse than others, with water through their homes. I've done a couple of posts if you scroll back. I'm glad you weren't affected by the floods in your area, but it's hard to see what others go through, isn't it? xxNanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-46731691537471477802017-09-18T05:53:56.691+10:002017-09-18T05:53:56.691+10:00Hi Anthea, it's worth the hard work to see it ...Hi Anthea, it's worth the hard work to see it all coming together. A lot of people are in the same cycle of sickness, especially here in South, where we copped the worst of it.

There was a flood? Oh my goodness, you are so brave and strong! Kate is right about there always being good that comes from the bad, and I am so glad to hear you did not go through this all alone, but had the help of at least one kind stranger. I recall you had moved here, perhaps not that long before? It's been so long I can't recall time lines now - were all your neighbours also affected? I am sorry to hear about the sickness too - such a common after effect of flooding when the drains are disrupted. We had some flooding here recently too though I was among the more fortunate of this population and escaped any damage, I see the after effects for many not so very far from me. I am pleased to have this opportunity to check in with you and know your indomitable spirit survives. I send you much love and health and good wishes. xoxoPaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13610356454928018161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-45028539541158144852017-09-15T05:33:56.452+10:002017-09-15T05:33:56.452+10:00Ah yes, Lyn, pumped muscles, broken back lol I lo...Ah yes, Lyn, pumped muscles, broken back lol I love my picket fence, and so happy with how it turned out.
