New Beginnings

........... this might look like any old green shoots butto be this is teh re-birth of my Bottle Brush bush which almost didn't survive teh harsh winter, what started as 2 tiny green buds are now 2 stems of around 30cm and there are several more shoots I'm so happy - although I'm not sure what I can do to protect it over the winter as the pot its in is too big to bring indoors so I might have to get protection fleece or something I can't wait to see how many years before it flowers again :)

Can report D says he now feels normal and Apache is 100% too - yay no more playing nursemaid.
