I'm ok thanks but I'm quite busy at work. I thought it was going to quieten down in the run up to Christmas but it feels like an avalanche has hit me at the moment!
It is very quiet on here again isn't it. It was nice to see Alicat around yesterday, I missed her unfortunately and was hoping she'd be back on today so I could catch up with her.
Anyway, better go and do a bit more.
PG

Clue - Mr. Fox wasn't British |

Another clue - they are very common - I would think that we all have at least one in our garden.  |

Incidentally, Agave attenuata which Derek mentioned above is pretty much hardy. I have had one growing unprotected against the south facing back wall of the house for some 10 years now.
