Christmas Greetings from the Antipodes


Hello everyone

It is 6.55 pm on Christmas Eve on the Verrity household (12 hours or more -
depending on where you are - ahead of most of the rest of you). It is about
20 degrees celsius outside, and 30 degrees in the conservatory, where most
of the plants are. It has been a glorious sunny day, with a cooling wind
from the south-east. All the plants are thriving (and so are the mealy
bugs!). I wish everyone a good holiday (and this, of course, is a real
holiday season for us, combining as it does Christmas, New Year and
SUMMER!).

Frances Verrity, Wellington, New Zealand
