Mum just told me that journalists from the Australian newspaper interviewed them today and walked around their property and took photos. She said they wouldn't let her put her lipstick on before they took her pic!
Not sure when it will be published - I'll add an update to this post when it appears - but this way we may all be able to see what is happening in Boomer Bay.
What a way to get in print...
Update: Mum and dad are quoted in today's Australian (9 Jan 2013), article on page 4, 'Bay will rise to be a boomer again', in the last column (five paras). No photo of them, so mum needn't have worried about the lippie. However, it was upsetting reading for me.
Hope you are all safe and well? Shame on them not letting your Mum put her lippy on for the photo.
ReplyDeleteI know, a gal needs her lippie in times of distress! They are - thank you for your thoughts.
DeleteWow, what an emotional read. As your Dad said Boomer Bay will rise again. Thank you for letting us know about the article. Rain clouds over Mt Wellington at the moment, hoping they float your parents way.
ReplyDeleteThanks L ... though i'm never very confident about the rain at the best of times. let's really hope!
