24.01.2022 COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE; With the government’s announcements last night, most would now be aware of the further social distancing and self isolation restrictions put into place for both businesses and communities across the country. Our business will hence forth be abiding to these new restrictions and ask that anyone coming into our store please both respect these new restrictions and, more so, please respect our staff who will be enforcing them as per our instructions. In... our agribusiness department; we ask all clients to please: - call us before you arrive so our staff may get your order pre-sorted and put aside to allow fast, safe service to you and limited time face-face contact with our staff. - please maintain the social distancing stance of 1.5mts at all times; in both shed yards and in store. - please limit face-face conversations to those absolutely necessary; we are all contactable anytime on mobile phones and more than happy to take your calls at any time; keeping everyone safe. - please be patient with us and others; knowing that despite the enormous challenge of the current situation, we are doing all we can to source products and deliver quantities to get everyone set up and ready for cropping as usual. In our post office / general store; we ask all customers to please: - respect the 1.5mt social distancing floor markers - be patient and respectful towards our staff and other community members, as we do our best to source and supply grocery items which are daily selling out and under immense supply pressure. - please do not linger in store unnecessarily; our staff cannot walk away and their health is priority. - if you have been unwell or experiencing ANY flu / virus like symptoms; please DO NOT enter our store. Call our store or one of our staff and we will be more than happy to organise a home delivery drop off for you instead. To keep our staff, families and community members safe, we must all work together. If our staff become ill - our doors will have to close! And that is something we definitely do not want to happen for Brim! Stay safe, look after each other.

By doing so you have all allowed us to continue to remain open and continue to provide the essential local community services that we all need and depend ...upon. So on behalf of the McPherson family, as well as our wonderful staff and their families, we THANK YOU for your cooperation as we all negotiate these uncertain times. By continuing to work together, hopefully we can all stay safe and return to normality soon. #WearAMask #SocialDistance #StaySafe #ThankYou

04.01.2022 HOW MUCH RAIN AT YOUR PLACE.. With much of the district now covered in puddles.. How much rain have you got in the gauge so far.. Comment below, we’d all love to know! ... #WinterRains #LoveWhereYouLive #FarmLife

04.01.2022 As we wake before the sunrise hour, And walk our driveways prior to dawn, We’ll stand there in silence and remember, Those who came home and also the fallen. ... As a Nation we owe them our freedom, Those young who hurried off to war, The innocents who lied of their age, All too eager to sign up for the cause. Brave young faces boarding ships to set sail, Off to fight for King, Country and Queen, For those of them lucky to return home, Not an unbroken soldier to be seen. Not a single soul of war is untouched, With the pain staying long after the scars, Tormented by images that can’t be unseen, The path forward forever more remains hard. And though it’s no longer called shell shock, To the soldier it still means the same, Deep in mud, or desert heat, rocks and dust, Random car backfire.. they’re back there again. For those of us lucky and unawares, Of the horrors and hardships of war, It is to the men and the women of our forces, We should thank, give praise and applaud. For their courage, bravery and sacrifice, Their strength and dedication to defend. Those who give up their youth in the service, Those who fight for our country to the end. So we’ll stand in our driveway this Anzac Day, To pay respects, give honour and to praise, Those who fought, who died, are still fighting, For our country and our freedoms today. #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget #AnzacDay #CovidTribute2020 (C.McPherson. 2019 - Edited 2020) (photo credit: abc.net.au)
