A newly discovered Joy

Stephen has been working very hard in their very large garden and is surprised at how satisfying gardening can be.

Steve's pride and joy, his roses, which are doing magnificently despite all that mother nature can throw at them. We have finally acquired a digital camera - more piccies to follow! (Margaret)

So, what does Mother Nature throw at the Roses?

In answer to your question, yes we do have tremendous thunder storms, in fact the United Nations severe weather study centre is located is located in Queensland a sit is the worlds thunder storm capital. One of the centres functions is to warn of impending storms; the fact is that they often get the location and the time wrong. The other problem is that when they do get it right, the notice is so short that you havent got time to put up an umbrella let alone take precautions against a deluge of golf ball size hailstones.

he weather is back to normal low thirties and seventy degrees of humidity, even the wallabies are staying in the shade. I have just made a new bird feeding table for the lorikeets and they are fighting over feeding rights and the noise is deafening, it sounds like Kate and Michelle at there very worst, although it must be said that the lorikeets don’t swear as much. I seem to remember that I had a niece called Michelle once, perhaps I imagined it.
