Was it a Welbourne's? Them's the best of the bunch (IMHO).
Tradition has it that Little Jack Horner is to blame for the lack of plums.
<falsetto>He might have thought he was a good boy; nobody else did.</falsetto>

It was “ Modens “ . Really delicious. It was after eating it that I checked the ingredients and noticed no plums 😮 Further investigation’s revealed that “ Plum “ refers to dried fruit. ( every day is a learning day )

Good morning all. Still wearing shorts here, temperature 17 degrees still so warm enough.
The plan for today is to ride some serious hills whilst I am still fit enough before my going out on the bike slows down due to weather deteriorating which will affect my fitness.
A little bit of DIY too but not much else unless Mrs G decides otherwise.
By the way, with reference to shorts, our postman here is in shorts all year round. He is also a rugby player so tough chap.

I keep my peely wally pins covered pretty much all year round. Has to be mega roasting before I would wear shorts.

Been for a plod in the sun. More geese over the house as I got back. Seems that yesterday was the first big day for them around here, saw lots of tweets about them.

Been seeing two sets of social media posts showcasing new buildings this week. One, a new hospital for Aviemore and surrounding area, built at a cost of £20m. The other, a local primary school for East Calder, built at a cost of £14m. How does a primary school cost almost as much as a hospital ?

Massive flocks of geese here, mainly Greylags.
20mph winds out there...darn i cant be *****to go out and do battle with it. Bought some of those teensy tiny lights with multi strobe options so might just sit on the couch and see if staring at them will produce a psychedelic experience

Gosh, even with that strong wind it's incredibly warm for this time of year. Thought I would give the legs another little stretch before lunch.

We seem to have some geese that remain all year and others that migrate. Been hearing them a lot more lately too.

If there were lots of tweets you will find they were budgies
