At one of our friend’s weddings we were fortunate enough to win the Bonsai tree that was used as a table decoration. This is my latest nature fascination. Sadly, as we went on holiday for a week it got a bit neglected and dropped lots of leaves. With some TLC, lots of water and the […]
Facebook’s import of my Blog into its “Notes” section has been on the blink for a few weeks and today finally gave up on me – so I’ve reconfigured the feed and re-synchronised everything, so hopefully it will stay up to date now. Apologies for any confusion.
