Nothing like a Dame

By now you are aware I was not named on the New Years' Honours List. Not a dame then but this is the view from my Throne. The big red one is the Pohutukawa (the New Zealand Christmas tree).To its right is the Grandiflora Magnolia( flowering creamy- white waxy flowers larger than a dinner plate) and right again is the mighty Kauri(ours is a baby about 30years old). With that to greet me every morning I consider myself very, very lucky. The Pohutukawa is part of a memorial stand that lines our street. Each is numbered and protected. Now that the rain and wind has stripped the trees, the crimson stamens carpet the road and pavement. I get the royal treatment every time I walk out my gate. Damehood who needs it. I am a Contessa!

  1. As stated by Stanford Medical, It is really the SINGLE reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than we do.

    (And by the way, it is not related to genetics or some secret-exercise and EVERYTHING to around "how" they are eating.)

    BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
