Dear Diann, 
How lovely to hear in person (Almost )! 
Please continue to stand tall in your wonderful country - what a difference your Congregation is making Sunday by  Sunday, week by month.  Please excuse the earlier attempt to reply with silly typos! 🤨

Dear Mary, 
What a lovely thing to say, thank you. 😊🌠 
It’s interesting to note that I did not know any female  90 yr olds as a role model for me to observe from my 60’s onwards  ( 30 yrs ago) 
Since then women and men have been living longer which is marvellous👋 so I’ve had the chance to witness some late 80’s,  early 90’s,  women in particular. 
My Uncle lived to  2 mths off a hundred about 12 yrs ago  (at which Jim officiated  at his  Funeral). Change is so quietly constant,  it seems. 
Thank you dear Sunny and Beret for expressing  your enjoyment of the video. I can see you  all in my mind and spirit .  Those Order/EI/ ICA years  are well remembered- despite the seriously rough  times for my children. 
Dear Mari, 
Thank you for  all your questions and thoughts, I’ll be thinking about them deeply before I respond 🙏
Here it is ridiculously warm 
for winter. Sadly the climate is very skew whiff,  and we are still wrecking it .
I have  another video relating to my passion over the Aboriginal community here. 
By & by I’ll send it over.
 It’s more a family story. 
With my love, 
Isobel xoxo

Dear friends all over North America,
I thought you may like to see something a bit different . There is so much hatred etc going on, here is the outback far western part of the State of New South Wales.
My daughter Cathy & I were part of the volunteer team last  month. Frontier Services is the ‘outback ‘ arm of my Church ,the Uniting Church  in Australia. I am many years now a retired Minister of the Church (  as was Jim).
Thank you for the recent chat about Worship in Church , I found it so lovely to read !
Special thanks to Dianne, Sherwood, Wanda and Nancy !
The Church I now attend is bending  the trend of most of the wider Church.
Lots of children, couples, gender diverse, gender identity young ones. It’s a joy to be there on Sunday, both morning and evening😊🌠
The Ministers are a team: Wife & Husband- it’s very heartening as now at 90, I’ve seen so much in the institutional Church !
I can walk just a 3 min walk too.
With my love to you  all, from down here ,
Isobel
