Hello from Poole

Sort of a reintroduction, as I did post many years ago on a previous incarnation of this forum. I've been back and lurking for a while now but thought I should post here before anywhere else.
I've been a member of the BCSS on and off since 1987, attending branch meetings at Bedford in the late 80s and Northampton in the early 00s. Now living on the south coast with no easily accessible branch.
I have a terrible tendency to collect but my main enthusiasms are South American cacti, succulent bromeliads and more recently the Aloe/Haworthia/Gasteria group. I'm also trying to grow hardy succulents but a high mollusc population in the garden is making that more difficult than it should be.
I am currently in the (slow) process of tidying up the collection which has got a bit messy and overcrowded due to the aforementioned collection habit and overenthusiastic propagation.
