Jan,
	I really do hope you didn't mind us dropping in.  As I said, if we'd
realised how close to Castlemain we were going to be we would have tee'd it
up with you. (For those of you listening in........ its a 750 odd Km trip
to get to Jan's Place from mine...... we were going to a Wedding in a
nearby town and only discovered when we got there that Castlemain was just
down the road)

 For reference, Jan's garden aint half as bad as she makes out.  I wish all
my irises were as healthy as hers (then again mine get around a quarter of
the space per plant that she allows...... Sigh!  It would be SO nice to
have more room)

  Her gardens are going to be absolutely spectacular in Spring.

  Oh, and I can Definitely vouch for the kangaroos (or at least some very
good attention to detail by Jan putting some droppings around and damaging
a few plants)

	Cheers.				Paul Tyerman
