Do you remember this curious photo of a tree fern seemingly in flower from a couple of weeks ago? We planted it about 4 years ago and it was just getting to a nice size.
Weeeellllll. Ed parked his little Nanna car by the back door. After some time we went outside to find it had rolled back down the drive. Fortunately something had stopped it from actually going down the bank..... Yes it was the tree fern Completely broken off at the base.
.
This is the second time Ed has done this. The last one was with my Mum's Triumph Toledo fairly soon after we arrived - we were still staying inthe barn. Only that did go much further down the bank and we had to get a tow truck out to haul it back up.

Late autumn bonfire in a warm wintery sun. Kids had disappeared inside but we enjoyed the warmth and got lots of vitamin B. I tried to persuade the others that we should be having a wine but they resisted as they were driving home. I abstained.
Ed started pruning the Feijoa tree and I experimented with the panorama setting on my phone camera. Ed decided they needed severe pruning this year as they are getting too bushy and we have hardly had any feijoas for a couple of years. It is a spectacular prune - well we'll see how they go. They are pretty tough I think they will survive.

Robyn Harris-Isles came up to stay with Sonya for a while so we went round for a dinner and some preloading and then went off to see Rick Bryant.
It is so good to catch uo with Robyn and always interesting to see that no matter what ravages of time are inflicted on the body, the essence of who we are remains constant.
