It has been a few weeks since I have posted mainly due to the Greater Sydney lockdown. Our place is in the upper Blue Mountains,100 km from where this outbreak started in the eastern suburbs. However the whole of our local government area (LGA) is considered part of the Greater Sydney area.
Current status as of 15 August 2021 is that the numbers of cases is going up, not down. In fact the entire state is now in lockdown so only essential travel is allowed. When things improve, we will update you.
In the meantime, I will post videos and photos from time to time so we can reflect on happier days. Here is one from a month ago when we had a few snow flurries along with the camellias blooming.

And this is why we have a gas fireplace in the guest suite and two sources of heat for our main house. This morning it was 0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit with only a couple more weeks of winter to go.
