Very sad to hear that your lemon tree has gone, John, but the rain is very welcome after such a long dry spell, methinks!! My sister headed off to Bundaberg from Agnes Water this morning.........via Miriam Vale, since the roads are all cut the other way. But hearing of the lemon tree reminded me: ladies, if your hair has lost its gloss and you are fortunate enough to have a lemon tree nearby, you might try doing what my old mum used to do when we were young. She used to boil up a few handfuls of lemon leaves in a large saucepan for around 10 minutes, let the water cool, then strain it and use it for the final rinse of our hair. Results? Very shiny hair!! :)) Cheers, guys.
