Australian bush fires

I have had an email from a fellow blogger in the USA who is concerned for my well being, after watching the news featuring the bushfires here, so I decided to write a quick post to assure the readers of this blog that Ken and I are safe where we are, although nothing is guaranteed.  We are in an outer suburb of Melbourne, which has a lot of trees and bush on most properties, so there is  a remote chance that if a bushfire started in a nearby park or large block of land, it is possible for it to move on to residential areas, depending on the strength and direction of the wind. 

The reason for my lack of posts on this blog since October is because I found out that my bladder cancer had returned, and I needed treatment, and right after that, Ken got sick and had to have his gall bladder removed.  So I haven't had much time for stitching or quilting!

Thanks for caring, and I will be back here with an update at a later stage.
