There are a couple of fig trees in Ely that seem to do very well, but then they're far more protected than mine. And much bigger LOL.

The prime south west facing wall spot in the garden is taken up by my two apricot trees and a grape vine.

 

[Reynard]

Ooh - an apricot tree.

Have two. Mum (who is incredibly green-fingered) grew them from the pips of a bag of apricots I bought on the market.

Am a bit too far north for them to be truly reliable croppers, but when I get fruit, they're so much nicer than the bought ones. The trick is to leave them on the tree till they fall off, as the darker they are, the riper they are.

Notice anything different about me?

You've had a perm?

 

[Reynard]

Log fire, hot and being book-ended by the cats. What's not to like about autumn evenings.

I think he's just combed over his nasal and ear hair...

Well I haven't got enough on my head to do that with.

Meatballs from the big yellow and blue shop for tea this evening.

Cottage pie here tonight, made with the leftover beef shin, gravy and mash.

Also got the leftover asparagus. It was only so-so, glad I only paid 36p for the two bunches. If I'd have paid the full whack of £3.60 I'd have been rather peeved.

Have taken sausages out of the freezer for tomorrow.

You've had work done now you're a TV star....?

We're having haddock tonight. It's mild smoked, and it's going to be oven-cooked with cherry tomatoes, butter, lemon juice, sliced black olives and a good glug of gin. Served with wilted spinach and new potatoes.

What a coincidence

Potsy will be pleased to know that following a change of plan, it will now not rain in Manchester on Monday.

I was going to make a pie but I had to help Mr K find his passport and turn on my pc to scan it ( don't ask why I have the scanner set up on mine and not his, because I don't know). So now we're waiting for the chinese delivery, particularly the large chop suey rolls

The restraining order got delivered then?

I read that as combined.
Does he look like Saturn now?

What have you done with The Velvet Curtain?.......you are nothing but an acronym, you imposter

I'm not replying to you until you get rid of that creepy avatar.

 

[Salty seadog]

Rough with the smooth I 'spose....

 

[Salty seadog]
