Hi all you CHers,
Stan and I have returned (finally!) from our holiday in Australia and
the US.
The S. Ca. Hotluck was GREAT and thank you Curt and Susie for your
excellent hotspitality :) We haven't had the chance to try all of the
sauces yet but what we have tried are yum yum.  As soon as the exchange
rate comes up we will have to have some more sent over.  We will
definitely need to work on having a South Island hotluck in the
future...anyone keen?

Came home to a MASSIVE aphid attack on our (over-wintering) chile
plants.  I don't think I have ever seen so many in my life.  Even the
spider webs were black with the things.  We lost about half of the chile
plants but there were so many that it doesn't matter too much.



Well, enough rambling from me....

Shona
