It might me feel just a little bit better about the whole dog thing.<br /><br />You did well and I thank you for trying your best to help him.<br /><br />Bit of a plug as I think I'm justified as I have bought all your books. I'm an overseas pension adviser, so if you or any expats you know have any questions, please get in touch.

Also very common in gardens here in South Africa. It looks like an Aeonium.<br /><br />I'm afraid I can't give specifics because I've probably forgotten most of my succulent plant knowledge.nerinedormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885964421325041778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-73337574108473262902010-07-14T11:11:27.973+01:002010-07-14T11:11:27.973+01:00Some of those succulents look like an Australian n...Some of those succulents look like an Australian native, known as Pig Face.<br />Bad name, lovely flowers.<br /><br />http://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/interns-2005/carpobrotus-glaucescens.htmlkaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03675538969081301816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-4874464698692855892010-07-14T11:05:44.915+01:002010-07-14T11:05:44.915+01:00I think you did a lovely job restoring that chair....I think you did a lovely job restoring that chair.Craig Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176851401465801580noreply@blogger.com
