What’s your favourite kind of weather? Are you a fun-n-the-sun kind of person, or a brave the elements and walk the blowing-a-gale kind? The beauty of the tropics is waking up every morning knowing that a gorgeous day of cerulean blue skies and gentle breezes is your daily fare…unless it’s the wet season and you are […]

Yes, I admit it. Aunty Shelagh’s plant was causing me a little bit of envy. Each time I visited, there it sat in the dappled light flowering profusely.
