    My place just burned down in a forest fire. I don't know, felt like telling someone.

    i'm not sure what exactly to say, i've seen your farm take progress

    i'm honestly gutted.. as long as you and your half are okay, that's the importance.. i'm very sorry..

    what about your live stock? this is horrific.

    Sorry to hear this Ellwood, must be devastating for you, my wife's folks live in LA so I know that it is a problem in your part of the world. However I guess you never think it will happen to you, I trust you saved the live stock, and hope and pray you can get back to normal as soon as possible.

    Sorry to hear about it and all that...

    Did the mountain lion escape? What about the rustic fence? Is your hole place reduced to rubble or just damaged?

    Look on the bright side, there's lots of pre cooked chicken if you know anyone with a freezer.

    Must have been a horrible evening and experience.

    I've just finished having a proper flick throug your blog, so much hard work... I expect with a Forest fire that it's all ash but I do hope not.

    What will happen now, is everything lost? Do you have insurance and will they cover all the losses?
