Sitting on the back veranda having a coffee and a slice of home-made fruit cake is a delightful experience. As I look to the left there is a wall of white jasmine flowers, it even takes me away from the fruit cake:
Further up the side fence the jasmine mingles with the honeysuckle. In the early morning the perfume from the honeysuckle is heavy in the air, it is the first experience of the senses when I walk out the back first thing.
The side fence is actually full of color, a mixture of honeysuckle, nasturtium, jasmine and another one whose name I constantly forget. I also have some rather pleasant conversations over this fence with my neighbour, Betty.
The tibochina in the back yard continues to produce hundreds of buds and this year it looks like there will be white as well as pink flowers. Look closely and see all the buds on the picture:
