Heady scent of raspberries

yum
altho I prefer strawbs meself

luscious juicy apricots, pretty blueberries .....

Mmmmmm... strawberries are fantastic just now! [drooling smiley]

yum..strawberries, melon, nectarines, cherries....

Melons - I like the orange ones

and orefer nects to peach

But peaches smell and taste so much richer than nectarines...you're just wimpy about the furry skin!

The white fleshed ones - peaches or nectarines - are heavenly.

Cherries? Cherries? Have you lot taken out a second mortgage or something?

2bundles of asparagus ( local) £3

Blu I do find the furry skin unsettling - BUT I love the juicyness of nects.
I HATE pears

I knkow, I'll do the mumsnet cherry challenge and eat them all while I'm going around the supermarket

Willow2 - As an "added extra" scandal you could spit the stones back into the Cherry crates.

Thank you for giving meaning to my day.

Why are cherries so expensive? I have to save up all winter just so I can indulge my cherry habit in summer!

They are worth going into debt for though!

willow lol re supermarkets!

Recurrants, I love them, and strawbs and rasps. And yes, I agree that cherries are outrageously priced. When we lived in Kent, they were incredibly cheap, you could just buy them at roadside stalls.
