Succulents can be very attractive and some are almost surreal.

I rarely put the heating on before the pandemic arrived, preferring a warm sleeping bag, hat and gloves in the middle of winter instead but this season coming I may even break my own house record for spartan living as I grudge giving them any cash at all :o) Being a hill-walker and already having all the cold weather gear I need for sub zero temperatures comes in handy.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-31649797903475779082021-10-08T20:28:28.048+01:002021-10-08T20:28:28.048+01:00That's the same temperature as here, but Autum...That's the same temperature as here, but Autumn has hardly touched our trees as yet.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-73653482117064772512021-10-08T13:59:30.690+01:002021-10-08T13:59:30.690+01:00😒😒Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-88022003283429827732021-10-08T11:52:19.267+01:002021-10-08T11:52:19.267+01:00Stanley's words do feel appropriate.Stanley's words do feel appropriate.
