Tobacco Flowers
The tobacco I sowed whilst writing my GNS zine is now in full flower. It is rather a pretty plant and makes for a great memorial plant for Guy, who was something of an afficiado of the old Nicotiana rustica.

Cacti Intervention
I have attempted to graft a loph. I degrafted from a periskopsis a few years back, but which never grew roots. Hopefully, this will bring the little treasure back to life. The old, personally sown, old Trich. was looking ugly anyway, and the nice bit I lobbed off should make fresh roots ready to repot next Spring. The loph would have died anyway without grafting too, so there's nothing lost if this little intervention doesn't go to plan...
Polish Mania
Shortly after my Guy N Smith fanzine was published, I received a message from a prospective buyer in Poland stating their disappointment that Amazon would not ship to his country. As chance would have it, I had been frustrated at Polish bookshops refusing to ship a particular edition of a Guy N. Smith book I wanted to add to my collection. In my return message, I asked whether he would be willing to purchase the Polish book and then post it privately to me. In exchange, I would return the favour by sending him a signed copy of my zine for free. To my delight, the customer was a real gentleman and took the idea of us helping each other warmly. Two weeks later, and just a couple of days after my package arrived in Poland, the postman slid a very special delivery through my letterbox.
What a great, and rather disturbing cover, eh? Perfect for a Guy N Smith novel, eh? And far superior to the British edition, which can be viewed on my devoted GNS page.
Cheers Rafal. As I said, you are a true gentleman.
