How ironic, my blog of yesterday was lamenting the fact that even out in the back of beyond, I was contactable on my cell phone, when not 2 hours after writing that I received a call to say the matriach of our family had passed away suddenly.
With the weather closed in and a 7 hour drive ahead, I had no choice but to gather the two loved ones I had with me and sit the night out, waiting till first light so we could try and get home....
After 8 hours of travelling, muddy and wet, we are safe, and the mourning begins.
I shudder to think about us sitting blissfully unaware of the happenings in civilisation, and only finding out about this in two weeks time when we were due to return.
Thankfully I was contactable, this time.... |
