Over at the house, the floor was dug up for a whole week as a gas man came to replace all of my pipes, seemingly got bored half way through the job and buggered off for seven days. The new plumbers I’d been talking to about fitting the bathroom took an equally long time to get around to putting together a quote, and still there was no sign of the missing builder.

So, it was a nice surprise as I was putting my bike away one night last week to notice than the bush beside my front door that we’d all so admired for its red blossom in the spring is now bearing a considerable amount of fruit. Even better that that fruit looks like quince, which makes for a very nice jelly. I had thought that bramble would be my first jam, but this puts a very different slant on things.

It’s fortunate, really since after giving around 24 fruits between them the strawberry plants have done nothing for the last three weeks. Less than impressive.
