I have to grin popeye, the ortho nurse complimented me yesterday on losing two kilos since last visit. 'Ha!' I thought to myself, 'That's because I have had no breakfast yet!' It was one of their beastly crack of dawn appointments lol.
Magnolias are glorious things, I planted a yellow one in that Blenheim garden and often wonder how it is now. Just up fromnthe big plot of lily in the valley! Which by the way does not survive an Auckland summer, I did try one year when a kind acquaintance brought me a pot of them. I do have a handful of rain lilies though, and they are a delightful replacement, sitting in the shade under a deep blue salvia. Plants are a real joy and worth all the effort we go to to fit another 'must have' into limited space...
