  1. The firefighters have done a remarkable job and our thanks must go in particular to all those from interstate and overseas. They have traveled many miles to help Victorians and your efforts and time is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Cheers

  6. I admire firefighters immensely. It takes courage to do that job and we’re fortunate for people like your friend John.

    I was reading an article about your daughter moving out and wanted to let you know that I can relate to feeling sad about it. I tried to track it down again, but it might as well be lost in space. Grabbing another coffee. 🙂
