Hello fellow friends of the Bush House,
Today is a  cosy rainy Saturday.  Cozy because I am writing this with a warm cup of tea by my side, enjoying the sound of the rain falling from the leaves onto the plants below.  Here are the spring rains, and within weeks bulbs will be pushing through and life and colour will be springing into gardens everywhere.  
For your enjoyment and pleasure, I’d like to share with you some of the amazing activities that are occurring through the Bush House and particularly the Inspiration Centre.

The town of Woodford may be little but big on spirit as the rain didn’t stop the community coming out to pay their respects.  The rain forced the march to be cancelled and move the ceremony into the community hall.  While officials re-organised the service the Caboolture community choir sung two magnificent tunes.

Then the service began in a moving but typical Anzac Day with the following features:  an introduction, Mounting of the Catafalque Party, Prayer, Poem from the Woodford State School, Guest speaker’s, Hymn, Laying of wreaths, a recitation, the …

Delaneys Creek Schools enterprising mums, Debbie Lacy and Janelle Martin, launched a ‘Fashion Wednesday’ day of fun.  The idea took off from their coffee outings together at the local coffee shop or at one of their homes.  Debbie wore her favourite shoes to the morning outings and Janelle started teasing her, asking if she was wearing her ‘grandma’ shoes again!  Deb, to get her own back on Janelle, said her shirt looked like a tablecloth and she wasn’t sure where to put her coffee cup, on the table or on …
