We are back home

Lisa and the family are now at home in Buxton. Is there anyone out there who would like to post info regularly from Melbourne? We would love to stay in touch. If you don't feel able to do a regular blog, just send me an email every so often, with any thoughts you'd like to share with the Triangle community, and I will post it on your behalf.

Just stuff

Hello. Its time to get personal. When I started this website, it was only a couple of days after Feb 7. People had scattered everywhere, information was patchy and hard to come by. The original intention of this site was to be a reassurance that things would return to normal, that we might be scattered, but our networks are still strong.
Since then, the emphasis has been on information. Putting our vastly different experiences into a context, and delivering information in manageable chunks.
The forums have been great for this.
I have noticed, particularly in the last week or so, that people are now wanting more than information. Personal contact is increasing, and many more people are cruising the site - perhaps looking for a conversation? The forums are a two-way street. Feel free to share your thoughts, images and ideas for the future, plus anything else you can think of. I will continue to post information, but there will be more of the personal stuff (not too personal, please :))
See you on the forums?

What's on in Buxton

Went home for a visit today. Not as smokey as it has been. Dropped in to the Igloo. Smiling faces and plenty of friends passing through. Graham had a Buxton Burger just because he could, and the felafel souvlaki is as good as ever! The kids were rapt to see everyone.
Don't hold out too much hope for being back permanently for many weeks, we will be in Melbourne 'til the Spur opens, and I don't think that will be any time in the near future.
Amazingly, my sunflowers are blooming, and provide a welcome splash of colour against the black. The duck brought her 15 rapidly expanding ducklings by to show us before we left.
Pleased to report that Butters is now operating Fri & Mon for dinner and Sat & Sun 9.30am - dinner. They will also be open all day on the Monday of the Labor Day weekend. Call 57747554 for bookings.
If anyone knows of other businesses that are operating, please drop us a line on the Trianglefamily Message Board and let us know. Who knows, we may start a business directory if there is enough interest...
