Today see’s Husband Dear going in for his annual colonoscopy. It’s an annual thing these days and has been for the last 5-6 years. A week before the procedure he goes on the white bread and chicken diet and as a family we try and join in solidarity.
This time though saw us head to the Bush Block three days before the procedure. It always amazes me how the place becomes such a retreat for myself and the boys. The boys go exploring and have built themselves hide outs and a shooting range, while Husband Dear jumps on his machine to clear lantana or push some tracks or fix our dams.
This 2000 acres has become so much more than just our simple Bush Block. It is our place for rest and relaxation, a property we are slowly raising cattle on as another income stream. In our times of doctor and hospital appointments a retreat for our souls, emotional well-being and a place to come together as a family.
As the weekend came to an end and we headed to the big smoke of Brisbane the worry and anxiety are not as heightened due to some camp fire action, the embrace of the mountains and good ‘ol fashioned adventures at our Bush Block.
