A Day In The A Blue Mountains.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I welcome you to take your time and browse , visiting my bush garden and discovering the wonders of my city within a national park; Blue Mountains National Park. Via my blog you will travel with me through the successes, trials and tribulations of gardening on a bush block. I share with you my patchwork & quilting, knitting, paper crafts, cooking and life in general.

Day Seven

It feels surreal...a much used statement in my community now. 

surreal

səˈrɪəl/
adjective
  1. 1.having the qualities of surrealism; bizarre.
    "a surreal mix of fact and fantasy"


 It is the most fitting word to describe how I feel at the moment. 

Now seventy odd kilometres from home I feel like I'm on a movie set...if a flying saucer was to hover over Circular Quay (my view to the left) or a mushroom cloud appear over the Sydney Harbour Bridge (directly in front of me), I would not at all be surprised....shocked yes, but not surprised. 

And - a new word has been added to my vocabulary: mega-fire.

In the words of our state premier Barry O'Farrell; 
"we prepare for the worst, hope for the best".
