Hi Paul, I was several weeks not online myself, so hardly missed you.
But it is nice to hear you are doing well anyway.

I'm not at all happy (but can't be bothered looking for the "moan..." thread, because last Monday I went to see the NZ v. Bangladesh 50 over match in Dunedin. We won comprehensively - well I'm happy about that of course - but I became quite sunburnt especially on my face and by the time I got home, looked like a well into it old toper, especially about the nose. Today I look like an old toper whose nose has been dipped in shredded coconut. No, not changing the avatar just yet.

I dare you! :D


Rather than focus on Leslie's sunburned nose, I hoped to focus on Leslie's sunny personality and good natured spirit.  So, I found a photo of Leslie in her thread about her garden makeover, donning the sunny yellow SRGC shirt with official forum emblem.  Here she stands proudly in front of a field of the rare Dunedin Crocus (C. arborescens), a remarkable gargantuan crocus in their golden glory, only growable in the pastoral Zone 9 lower east coast of South Island, New Zealand.  Even Mark S can't grow this rarity :o  Notice those rather unusual yet beautiful mother of pearl snowdrop earrings.  A second photo (avatar candidate) captures a moment when the sun shone particularly bright.

That's a bit FAB!! Lesley, I bet you haven't looked like that in years.... did you ever curl you hair in real life, I wonder?
Terribly  clever of McMark to have captured those archive shots of the rare NZ  endemic giant crocus.... now I believe, extinct due to the predation of the giant bunny (a creature still extant in Germany, as we have seen elsewhere on the forum).... what a remarkable place this is...... ;D
