Remembering Brighter Days

A Proustean Moment

J'aime Proust.

Je suis seule?

The Forever Factor

The concept of "Forever" haunted my childhood dreams.

Somehow this photo reflects the imagery of timeless beauty.

It could be the finely worked marble...

Chatting Away Merrily with Botanists Abroad

Gardeners make friends wherever they go.
Gardening is such a basic, almost primitive, activity,
that it links to every aspect of daily life and survival.

in preparation for a trip to Melbourne and Tasmania next year.

In the meantime, anybody who has read "The Magic Pudding" by Norman Lindsey will remember this:

The plain truth was that Bunyip and his Uncle lived in a small house in a tree, and there was no room for the whiskers.
