I have much to record from the past month.
However I had to cut my Europe trip short to return to Adelaide over a week ago where Shirley, my good friend and former travel companion, is in hospital dying of incurable cancer.   I am therefore at her bedside for most part of each day to give her comfort and peace.

I will recommence my blog after this is all over and I have returned and settled down back at the mango farm in Darwin.
