Hi all, thanks for thinking of me xxx All's well here, we came close to having Evie's trampoline come through a window, but fortunately it got stuck between a fence and the washing line. Phew, my lithops seedlings were on that window! ;) It's been very rough here again this weekend too and we lost power for a couple of hours this morning but its back on now. My poor semps are all covered in leaves, hopefully it will be a bit calmer later on so that I can dig them out again!
Apologies for being AWOL of late, I'm very busy at work and home atm, still waiting to find out where we are moving to and when, although where ever it is will be after Christmas now.

Dear Kate, glad to hear you are OK! Been awful here with a 50 ton oak tree going through a nearby Victorian house. Straight through the roof it went and luckily the family escaped unhurt!
The Kent coast got hit very badly and Hampshire. Reminds me in some places of the Hurricane in 1987!
Take care.
Regards.
Neil.

Dear Lynn, botanically it would be most difficult to tell if it is a Lady tree fern! However she is of fine posture and grandeur. This Lady has many fine offspring, some of which are prospering in other peoples gardens, and of course, a lot in mine.
She of course likes to be talked to correctly and indeed fussed over, but not too much.
She is a pure Lady of the garden, and like all Ladies most beautiful.
To see her next to my Japanese maples in their Autumn/fall colours, is a sight to behold.
Purely majestic my dear. So therefore like a Spitfire or an Aston Martin she is a true Lady. I do not' care what the botanists say, for she is full of grace and has a magnificent presence.
Regards from a fern lover.
Neil.
