Waratahs and a protea, eh? Who knew? (Not me.) Lovely.
Completely alien flora, and utterly lovely.
Great when those who we love, know us so well and smile.

Lovely - the best possible use for bovril.
wow, like flowers from another planet. enjoy them.
Beautiful, exotic blooms - and the Bovril jar looks pretty classy too.
Bovril? Not Marmite? I thought you were veggie.
Waratahs and protea? What strange new flowers are these? The unexpectedness of them made me smile.
And yet the ginger beer brings up a thousand relentlessly English associations.
Thank you for your comment; and you know, I do seem to be talking out my troubles. xo
Oh, my!
