So much for returning to the 'base camp at Ribbonwood!" Julie's mum broke her ankle so she ended up returning to Christchurch just a couple of weeks after returning home. At first, filled with trepidation about going to an earthquake damaged city, she soon got back into the way of life and got use to biking past the ruins and rubble. Estelle (Julie's mum) flourished with her family back in the fold. Julie - "I returned to work, relieving in kindergartens and loved it - it's a privilege to be in a family environment (rather than an institution) with educators who strive to lift children's achievement." Jo kept the home fires burning, enjoying a flurry of guests in November and December until Julie and Estelle arrived home. We got mum working in the garden straight away! One guest remarked in a follow up email 'we very much enjoyed meeting the both of you and Estelle - we appreciated her spunky personality:-) Nice one mum!
