Atm I live in a beautiful detached 14 bedroomed Georgian mansion with 10978 acres but I don't have an Orchard. I'm even considering moving to a 13 bedoomed mansion with an orchard!! (can you beleive it?)

LOl at Pruni remembering she has frozen Quince in her freezer.

Am still none the wiser to this Southern Quince malarkey. Thought you meant that detective geezer in a wheelchair.

quinces are lush. They take hours to cook, but are well worth it.

You can easily buy them in North London grocers' and prob many other non-Tesco places.

CarolinaMoose · 29/06/2006 15:39

Soupy gets a point for walnut tree and loses it immediatly for blackberries,they grow everywhere,not exclusive or esoteric or anything.

trinityrhino · 29/06/2006 15:46

i have rhubarb, do I get a point????

meowmix · 29/06/2006 15:47

runcible spoon (oooh i'd love a runcible spoon) whatever the f... that is

expatinscotland · 29/06/2006 15:48

orchards are overrated, unless you have a sexy groundskeeper to help you out at harvest time . . .

Bozza · 29/06/2006 15:48

I have strawberries and that is it.

zippitippitoes · 29/06/2006 15:48
