    Still looking good BM, I guess being sheltered has helped, some palms around here in exposed places have been hit hard.:(
    The Christmas/new year freeze was the 'tender plant test' we have been expecting as we have had so many mild winters.

    Oh, goodness me, Babe ... SNOW ???? Have you ever had that before ?????

    We had hailstones this evening along with thunder and lightning right on top of us so had to shut down because three years ago our telephone line got hit by lightning and everything fried (good insurance claim :gnthb:) but we've now got three on line so don't take chances.

    Hope all is okay with you ... :luv: xx

    Love the snow in the jungle pics and I am jealous of all that lush fresh greenery in the first pics, the ferns and bamboo making me turn an even deeper shade of green. :D

    Hope it all keeps safe if you get more snow or a bad freeze.
