Be a post whore!

What most supermarkets over here stock are what is known as the "bouncing strawberry". They are the El Santa variety. Big, red, pretty much indestructible and generally grown in Spain. I do not buy them. They do not taste of real strawberries. My parents think I am odd for checking the name on the packaging, but they think I'm odd anyway.

Thing is we (the British public) are now used to buying things all year round. It's our appetite for non-seasonal food that puts us at the mercy of inferior products. I'd rather eat wonderful strawberries for two months a year than indifferent ones for twelve. So I vote with my wallet. Oh, yeah, sorry. I really mean I can't afford them all that often

Cherries though... I'm a sucker for cherries.
I buy them even when the country of origin is Chile. Not very green of me.
But Penny looks like she's going to give me a decent crop this year, so at least I'm trying.

BTW, my eye still hurts.
I feel real empathy with generations of rabbits.
