House Fire

 I am home from hospital and slowly getting my mobility back again!  I'm on crutches or a walker, but can walk a few steps on my own.  I don't have any cards to post, but I did capture these photos of a house nearby that caught fire on Wednesday.  No-one was injured but sadly the house is extensively damaged. I managed to walk on my walker (with my cousin who was staying with me) and take some photos.  The road is a narrow two lane road and was totally blocked with Fire trucks, Ambulance and Police. 

The house above is NOT the house that caught fire, that house is in behind the one above. Because the road was blocked off you could only get so far.

And the house in this  photo is also NOT the house on fire.  It is behind the one above.

A "cheeky" photo of one of the firemen getting into his fire gear!  Naughty me!  Well you've got to give it a 'crack' don't you?!

Here is the house that caught fire.  It's about four houses from where I live.

Some of the bushes close to the house also caught fire.

I'm just glad no-one was injured because the firemen weren't sure if anyone was inside the house to begin with.  So it was a huge relief to know the house was empty.

 This is the balcony of the house.

And here are some of the firemen and women packing up the fire hoses after the fire.

 They all did such a great job and I know the whole community will support these people who lost their house. 

 Emptying the fire hoses and folding them back up to put back in the firetruck.

They did an amazing job and were so quick at getting to the fire.

And to end on a more pleasant note, as I turned around to come home, I saw these gorjuss purple Cinneraria growing under a hedge!  I just had to take a shot of these happy flowers!

 Thanks for dropping by, and thanks to Andrea B for your gorjuss card you sent me!  I have had a rough time after the surgery because of only being able to take Paracetamol for the pain - not recommended as it is no where near strong enough, but I had no option.  I am sooooooooooo exhausted and tired, and have not slept properly for the last 10 days, but I hope that improves soon!  I'm now able to do things for myself, and so I hope to be back making cards and things again soon!  I have a new "ebay" die I have to show you!

BTW, the nurses loved the thank you card I made them and it ended up being shown to the entire ward!

Have a SUNSHINE day!  {HUGS} from me to YOU:-)
