    I really enjoyed seeing your picture showing today! It is just the thing to see, as all our colours are well faded now.
    I enjoy seeing the variety of your exotic-looking garden plants.

    That does it!! I think it's time for Ian and I to take a trip to Australia to visit his best mate. I'm already having gardening withdrawal symptoms as there's nothing growing here except 'frost flowers.' They do look nice on the greenhouse glass with their feathery patterns but it's just soooo cold. :(
    Many thanks for your lovely photographs. Keep them coming as they always cheer me up.
