The past 12 days have had us all outside our designated and familiar roles, so today, as life returns to normal, and Adelaide recuperates from her ordeal, we celebrated the work we do! 

And I don’t think anyone is more relieved to be back in the role of head stockmanperson than Tess…

So with only 4 days remaining until she returns to University some 850 kilometres away, the mustering resumed.

Rob spent the duration of Adelaide’s hospital stay in the ward with her, so I think today he somehow enjoyed the familiarity of dust and sweat and the company of cows. The wheel of life, which had momentarily paused, was now turning again.

For Andrew, the delight of having Mum, Dad & Adelaide home soon faded, as he realised that his chores hadn’t miraculously disappeared…

Nor had Hamish learnt how to get his shoes on and laces tied!!

I’m sure he wishes that Hamish would find an easier pair of boots to put on like Adelaide!?

Now that we’re all back on track, I’m certainly relishing the summer season…..there is just no place better than home.

  welcome home!great to see young adelaide up and at ’em…i bet though, its hard to get back into the rythm of school and home, and the whole hospital experience seems surreal!

  and how gorgeous is that creek. We haven’t had rain for a few weeks now so our favourite creek has stopped running, and with school we have been too knackered to even think about taking a drive down there…might do so this weekend if the water is still clean enough.
