    My dear leaflets,

    I am going to talk today about the Bush. As you know, my background is native plants and where do you find most of these plants? Out bush. I am not going to pretend I know everything about the bush, but a million years ago, I did a diploma in Natural Resource management which gave me a pretty broad idea about the bush.
