Hallowe’en

Hallowe’en

All hallowe’en – All Saints’ Eve Today has been a beautifully warm, sunny, late autumn day.

New dinosaurs discovered!

New dinosaurs discovered!

You would think that a newly discovered dinosaur species would be big news. Definitely something you’d hear about on the news.

The Christmas Cactus – Schlumbergera

The Christmas Cactus – Schlumbergera

This pretty succulent plant is one that to me, should almost be called the shrimp plant, or even prawn! Because the prolific blooms that are borne on it late autumn to early winter really do resemble those sea creatures… I once saw one in water on its own and really thought for a moment it […]

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!  What a descriptive word! It conjures up thoughts of unimagined delights & surprises, things that amuse, amaze or astonish us.

Gumby & the Coral tree

Gumby & the Coral tree

Thanks to Louis in Sodwana for sending me a picture today of a Coral tree he planted in Gumby’s memory. This picture, my earlier post this week about coral and the fact that it’s been 8 months today since Jeremy was killed, made me think that today’s perfect topic would be to find out more […]

Coral – what is it, how’s it made, why is it important?

Coral – what is it, how’s it made, why is it important?
