Hi Frank
The Ensete's are fine and in the shade to re-root , I guess another ten days and they will take off again.
You would be surprised how some of the people we meet react when I talk about places in the Middle East , I'm sure some of our non American friends living here think I'm CIA , But the truth is much less exotic , my Wife is a Journalist and works for one of the big Global news wires . We move every few years because it's part of her job . So your life is safe with me unless I go Bananas
Later
Steve
