    Am reading the letters of Bruce Chatwin, James...the Patagonian section is especially interesting. Have you been there? Have a wonderful time away from routine! Faisal.

    Anonymous (the B. Martin one), so I was down under too, for a while. Wish I could spend every one of my winters down under.

    Luck you.

    Bring me back a bottle of Argentinian Malbec please.

    Marie,

    I've been following your travels in South Africa, and long to see the flora there. Spectacular, I understand. Uruguay offers its own version of spectacular, and I hope to finish editing photos soon so I can post on the fabulous visit we had there.

    Dear sir, I do not speak English, sorry. I found your blog and I saw your garden. The garden is amazing! Congratulations. And a bit envious. I have a garden. It is an old garden - created by my grandfather. I have deer, but I'm busy street :-) Your blog is an inspiration, I will also do my blog. Health and Happiness wishes to Petra from the Czech Republic
