My tags came home from NSW the other day, I had almost forgotten about them. Tiny tiny flowers on my little cactus. The first time they have flowered. Yesterday was a great day for catching up with almost forgotten friends. In 1974 we had three students who came to live with us and work on the farm. They were 2 boys from Switzerland and a girl from Lichtenstein known affectionately as the Swiss army. Life was hectic, we had four children and a big gist house but not huge. Not a lot of money, interesting times. Any way yesterday we caught up with them and his wife. On a 7 week trip around Australia after much searching they found us. Such a long gap it was so interesting to hear about what they do. 2 hours of chat and morning tea. So interesting to hear of their lives. Now we will keep in touch. Stunning day today warm and sunny. Friday we are going over to Kangaroo Island for the day. The funeral of an old friend, looks as if it might be wet. More interesting times.

P - lovely to be reunited with the tags. We bought some when we were in Wales UK and had them framed - they look great. Special flower on you cacti. Peace and health. B
How cool that those that stayed with you so long ago took time to find you and visit. I never had a cactus flower for me except Christmas Cactus.
Have a great weekend,
xx, carol
