Thanks for including a reference to my post in your story about a slalom through the seasons in winter. It's strange what's happening with the climate now, and I wonder what surprises are in store for us. Everything in this world is moving at speed and in a direction that seems rather doubtful, at least here where I live.
I like Strelitzia. It is not a flower that is grown in Romania, I can only find it in florists. Although I don't like crowded beaches, I find deserted beaches very sad!
