Camelia

I always though this was a gardenia but I just googled it to check and I was wrong, it's a camelia! All of a sudden there are a few of these camelias in full bloom, amazing what a bit of sunshine and a 1 degree rise in temperature will do!

Packing for a long weekend in Brussels just now - just booked the taxi for 5:15am.... aaargh! The last time we were in Brussels was at least 15 years ago but I'm guessing it won't have changed much; as long as the beer's still as good we'll be fine. Meeting up with D&K who are over from Phoenix for another blitz-tour of a Europe-bit (this time it's the Low Countries) so if we needed an excuse for a few brews we've got one!
