Hi all,

We have had a couple of sensational days up here, for the long weekend and today.

A few of us went down to the Railways Heritage weekend at Central Railway for a ride in the old steam train. Our grandson is train nutty and loves to watch them go by at home so he was wrapped going in the train. He couldn't believe how many of them lined up at Central station.

Jean, will have to put the Exotica Velvet on the wish list. It has nice colouring to it.
It will be good to have some of the family staying here but I like to do things on my own for some reason, probably just so I can do it at my own pace and can sit down when I want.

Nev, Neo ' Braz-el' would chew up the garden space its a big one.
The variegated plant in a previous post is one from Bromeliads Australia at Wyee, but I forgot to ask if it was named and you are right with the Vr ospinae var gruberi.

Anyway better get back to the bookwork.
