Every year around this time I get some wonderful quinces from my friend Lizzie. And every year I think that peeling them is like peeling rocks … but I’ve just cooked a bundle and the taste is so lovely and so unusual - as always … thank you Lizzie. What a treat.

One of the many things that mean you love your country - and you don’t need to wave a flag to prove it
5 of us from our local residents group picked up litter in our village yesterday.
3 hours - 20 bags.
Not bad.
Celebrated at the pub afterwards.
