Thank you so much for your very kind comments!

This is NOT Grace Darling's grave. This is her memorial. The grave was 20 yards behind you as you took this photo.

Mike, good to see you called in here, although I'm sorry I missed you. I should think you've caught up with some kip by now though. :)

Danny, I must thank you again for having such a good browse through my collection of snaps, I really am very pleased you enjoyed some of the photos. My book is called....wait for it, it's a really exciting title......'LIFE - (in general) by Susan Allen'. Really, yes, it's called that. Well, that's what it's about, so I thought, oh well, that was as good a title as any. I am waiting for the paper proof version to arrive from America, so I hope the post will hurry up. I'm not used to snail mail any more since getting a computer -- painfully slow, isn't it?

My mind is boggling, Jean, just boggling! I can hardly see for the worry lines. :D

Very best wishes to you all,

Time to get off this thing for the day as it's about to be hijacked by an onslaught of kids.

Hi Sue,

No, there are no Jacarandas growing @ home now. Actually, my best friend's wife, who's from Jacarandafull Argentina, tried to grow one in the south of London (where the winters are less cold than here) and despite the "gentleness" of London's winters, the Jacaranda died... so I guess I'ld have even less chance than she had here...

However, I found it's nordic equivalent : a Prunus

The other solution would be to bug the Basel city greenhouse to grow one... they grow things that you'ld never expect to see in Switzerland... check it out! ... however, when I see how the Swiss Banana trees grow, I think that with some more pollution, we could get the global warm up strong enough to grow Jacarandas in here !

But who cares... Jacarandas are a green and purple wonder... but what about green eyed girls using purple make up ?

Best regards from eastern France :-)
