My Brother bought me a Birthday Flower.

Well yes it was my Birthday yesterday and I had a few visitors to see how many extra wrinkles I have now that I'm getting older. I know looking at my birthday suit that it could be used as lemon grater or could make a great extra in a horror movie.

My big Brother Alan popped round with some nice presents which included this lovely plant which I must put out in my front garden. Would you believe he didn't have a clue as to what it was, so a quick call to my green fingered friends and photo emailed and it turns out to be a Skimmia Japonica.

Right, now where's the iron for this wrinkly old Birthday Suit of mine.

Happy birthday Heather, and what a lovely gift from your brother. And listen - your body is like a bottle of wine and cheese- it only gets better with age :)

@gilbertwood Thank you Denise for you kind words, unfortunately the cork fell out years ago and something has been nibbling at the cheese.
