The Bastardy Camellia

I've always adored and lusted for Camellias but never had one. While my mother was alive she always discouraged me. And now i see why. -almost all of it's buds fell off within days, and it has only been able to procure one blossom, lord knows if the remaining buds will fall off as well...i might just have to move to Cornwall.

Amusing myself

Booze - I'm not big on drink, but boringly, i like good wines with good food and maybe even the company of good friends. Oh, and champagne!
