Back to the real world...

Hard to believe its been over a month since i left NZ, and no blogs in all that time! Needless to say a lot has happened, my life experience has been stretched, and i feel blessed to have had one of the most incredible months of my life. No room here to give you all the details, but for the masochists out there who need some night time reading i DID keep a journal, so it you want to read all about it let me know by way of a comment and i'll either post it on the blog OR send you an email attachment. Flew out of Darwin on Thurs am, picked up at the Brisbane airport at 5am by Fay (hows that for wifely commitment?) and now spending the next week showering off the red dirt, doing a mountain of washing and generally having some r and r in Main Beach before heading back home on the 15th. New treatment to start after meetings and scans scheduled for the 20th and thereafter. Fantastic to have the opportunity to meet up with Gina, Mike and the grandkids who are also in the Gold Coast for a conference before heading back to NZ. They hardly recognised the Outback Man, but it was a great catch-up and cuddle time!
The Canning has given me a whole new perspective on Outback Australia, and the history of this remarkable land. As one of our group commented "God did a good job when He made this place".
Jim deserves kudos for putting up with me for almost 5 weeks, but we do have some great stories to share and reflect over in the months to come. Thanks all for your prayers and patience- I'll try and be a bit more vigilant in keeping you in the loop in the weeks to come .
