Lovely photo Norrie. Do bouganvillia have a perfume? I don't think I have ever seen any growing, as I imagine they would probably need to be in a glass house in the UK.

I'm going to try and put a better photo of Old Glory in. Basically it was an old falt bed steam lorry used for industrial/commercial use and the fellow who now has it bought it before it got confined to the scrap yard as he loves steam engines and when he isn't driving Old Glory he drives a steam train (as I said in an earlier missive). He did the engine all up and then went to a coach builder and had the body work put on and the whole thing painted. The seats are basicaly garden benches bolted to the floor, 2 rows of them, going front to back, just 2 seater ones, but with a sideways one behind the cab and opposite the door. An older couple sat on that one with their young grandson between them, and he was sitting quietly listenting to the steam engine, but when the lorry actually started moving once the driver had opened a valve or whatever it is they do, his mouth opened in astonishment and he went all wide eyed and then broke into giggles shouting at the top of his voice "I can feel it in my bottom". Almost the whole bus load creased up in laughing because you could certainly feel every vibration as there was no padding on the seats at all, bone shaker wasn't the word, but I wouldn't have wanted to miss the trip as it was a real experience, and the power was incredible.
