hi friends & mates, well im sorry this email is a general one, what i have to say is hard enough to say once let alone 2 or 5 or 7 times. the fires you may well of all heard of have hit my family and myself twice over the last 25 day, first the fire that started on new years eve which i was helping fight went through where we keep all my parents welsh mountain ponys at plus one that lisa and i own, he was the wosrt burn out 40 ponys but will recover fully we hope. there was only two others burnt minorly which in its self is a major god helped thing. so we are now feeeding one big bail of hay ever two days, the bay is about 8 foot by 4 foot and about 4 foot high. alot of fence damaged was done too but we are slowly dealing with that but with now help from the goverment for the fences, so much for paying your taxes hey.

well heres the rest of the news for the last 3 day pomonal[where my pareents live] has been under attack for alsort of direction with the grampains fires, not to much left unburnt around the town and at this stage no house lost that we know of,its been a very scary time for us all. heres the biggest kick in the gut, so far we have lost 125 of our 400 hives with all other loads unabile to get acess to , for high chance of then being gone too, dad took photos to show me of the bees theres just nothing left except tine from lid and botton of hives.all this is on top of the worst start to a honey season we have ever had, i havent had income from the bees for going on 3 months now and the money has all run out from last season.the truck we finaced 12 months ago will have to be sold. at this stage im not sure i can rebuild the bees again, 3rd time insdie 12 years is a bit much for me right now.im looking for a full time job some where, but unsure what to do really. we are very much in the need for prays as to where the LORD wants us to go or do. right now i feel like i have gone 10 rounds with some one with a base ball bat laying into me.
