But I did not say anything about the poor people living on the wrong side ...
Read it carefully: nothing untoward was uttered.

You are very lucky

You will please note below that I was very careful not to cast aspersions on your bountiful flora. I even had a few nice things to say about it. I am sure oom At and Jurie Steyn would have been impressed.

You should not

Only have a "few" nice things to say about our flora, you should have a lot of nice things to say about it. Always keep in mind that "we" now also have direct contact with the IRA. Big Brother is watching you.

I would not call it unpleasant, but it is certainly different.

How would you describe the smell?: I find I dont have a suitable lexicon ...

I am not sure how to describe

I am not sure how to describe it myself. It's a bit sweet, a bit soapy. Dunno. All I know is that it instantly makes me feel queasy and I get a headache if I breathe in too much of the scent. Some of the pterygodiums affect me the same way.

its a bit of mix of scents
