Hello everyone,

Just recalling our Christmas Party in early December. It was good fun and, judging by those smiling faces sitting around passing parcels, it was worth the efforts of the organisers. Thank you all for the goodies you took along.

It has been a traditional winter, with frosts, fog and more than enough rain to fill those reservoirs. We gardeners do not want to hear about any water restrictions when it gets hot and dry, if ever !!
