Cactus









I can vividly remember the moment I became cautious of cacti.  I was 8 years old and cleaning up my classroom after wet play, when a cactus plant fell from a shelf and one of the boys in my class, in a moment of reflex, caught it with both his hands.  The poor boy spent the remainder of the afternoon picking out the needles.  Still, I stumbled across this prickly creature in the local garden centre and couldn't resist.  Probably better in my kitchen than as a fashion accessory, though...

On another note, in a fit of madness (and poverty) I'm selling half my wardrobe on eBay - go check it out, there are some bargains to be had!
