Evan is the youngest and is stiil alive in Korsor Denmark aged 83, 20 years older than Evan SE in Greytown NZ.

Blooming Trees

Lovely sunny Sunday Sammo got snap happy today. On he left looking towards the gate the Sakura cherry tree is in full bloom and on the right the Pandora Pandora thriving in the front corner of the garden. This plant used to be out the back and I tried to get it climbing up the old power pole. Every year it got knocked by the frost but since we shifted it, it has thrived. It has delicate clusters of cream flowers all over it.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Sammo and Evan spent Sunday afternoon shifting wood from along the fence into the woodshed so it can dry out before next winter. Sitting on the front deck Cleo came along and wanted a cuddle. After many cuddles it was time for some photos. Since Dad retired and has been round the house more Cleo has becoe very friendly and comes in for a scratch early everyday.

Another birthday!

Yes, its birthday time again. This time for Carl HJ in Brisbane. No doubt Isaac enjoyed the day as well. As soon as Greystone can inveigle a photo from Carl it shall be posted so we can all see what a superb specimen was exported to the West Island (Oz) in 1999.
