This beautiful fuschia was a 50th birthday present, and has survived those 5 years, so I guess I did something correctly! Unfortunately I was not able to bring even a little piece of it with me. Vale Fuschia.
The barber shop dog "Oprah", in full guard mode!
The shop itself, which has a porcine motif, although not quite so obvious in this photo!
Ah, the pig dirty linen basket!
AND finally, Jeannie the barber. Thanks, Jeannie, for the haircuts, and the enjoyable monthly visits, always times of mirth and laughter. And no crap!
And last, but by no means least, my outstanding neighbours of the last 8 years, Denny and Geniva. Thank you for being so generous and helpful neighbours and friends over the years.
