You get the impression that where ever you dig in Egypt you’ll unearth a town, a temple or burial chambers. There is so much left yet to find.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
A lovely picture of you, Irene.

The photo of you at the site gives a sense of the size. Fascinating textures.

Yes it was tall and looking at the soil which was where I was standing you wonder what makes people dig just there – probably because of the tall pillar which I guess the dessert didn’t manage to obliterate in entirety.

The texture looks great to me. We had a chance to go to Cairo when my brother-in-law worked there as a naval engineer but my husband didn’t like the sand and desert so we didn’t go. I don’t think we’ll ever go there even though I love to unearth something! 🙂

It is a pity you didn’t take the opportunity as it is a fantastic place to visit. Just amazing standing next to things you have grown up learning about and seeing the bullrushes in the Nile which made me think of Moses. It was a bit like having a trip down memory lane despite never having been there before.

Yes, I know, Irene. After my brother-in-law came back, Cairo was unstable. Now I think we won’t be able to go.
