I came back from Collinsville last night. The road near Ayr had water over it not long after I passed through.

Giru was just a swamp.

The new road at Tully was being tested with all the water around it.

And now there is a deepening low off the coast.

Just in time for Pollyana to return.:rofl:

Good thanks Karen.
Just had vistors from UK who departed yesterday.

Excellent idea :thumbup:
Haven't tried it yet although I've dropped the son off there a few times.
Me and Gill have been saying it's time we did.

How are the girls getting on at the school ?

they have a courtesy bus too, so no need to drive !!

girls are liking school about as much as kids do...never want to go but once they're there they are fine, making friends and having sleepovers etc I'm pleased that they seem to have settled very well
