Got any quince?

[bobleponge]

Really?? That would be fab, 8 am is fine. Thank you
Where and when Bob? Shall I PM you my number etc?

Thea we arrive at 7am on Saturday morning into Pompey, and can easily be in Soton by 8, maybe even a bit earlier. We can come to you, or meet you somewhere if you wish? PM me your number and I'll call you when we land in Pompey.

oh come on, a tiny trip to London in your quincemobile...come onnnn...

I'd of course love to BroadRipple, but I'm just not going to have the time. In fact, Mme P would love to, as then I would be stopped in some form of shopping thing in Londiniumshire where she would suddenly tell me her French card doesnt work in England.
Should you happen to be passing my way, please pop in and help yourself. You will either get scratched to death by the sloes and the brambles or soaking wet in the pond (both of which happened to me in the collection of said things) or both, but you would certainly be welcome to help yourself.

[bobleponge]

Sorry. been erraatic with my responses of late - family crisis - you don't like chez?!? Sacre Bleu! Mon Dieu!
Let's hope you like the french appetite for semi raw meat then. Or game!
I would give you my new stash of damsons, but figure they would go mouldy before you got them home. I hope your trip back to Blighty is a smooth one - unless you are coming underground?

Ooohh yes, if I cant still hear faint echo's of a "mooooo" or a "baaaa" its burnt. I'll certainly take some of your damsons in exchange for stinky cheez. If you could give them to Zaz that would be fine and dandy.

I'll get on to the orchard man and see if i can take some from his trees...

[northepaul]

I have been up since six waiting to hear from Bob, am slightly concerned and hoping everything is ok with him....

[zazen999]

Did you hear from him Thea? He's been on faceache whilst I've been having palpitations on a garage forecourt. I presume he was late getting off the boat and went straight to the wedding

[northepaul]

No not a word A bit annoying as I had to bagsy a lift to meet him and then embarrassingly had to tell them (after they'd got up specially) I didnt need it.
Plus I had to tell my daughter that she couldnt go to her friend's use we were waiting in all morning to hear from him.

[taff]

well, there's a success story here sorry Thea
thank you bob for the quinces and the extra, and nice to meet you and your lady very briefly, sorry I didn't say anything in french but I had complete brain blank
They'll be chopped and cooked after work tonight...
And Hilary, where that sloe bush was, there were loads more around the corner and some apple trees so I'll go back tomorrow to have another scrump, nice to meet you too, good call for the meeting place

In good company Thea - I didn't hear anything either....

[northepaul]

Sorry to hear that Zaz

[zazen999]

We're a small and select club chuck.

[Hilary B]

My batch will have to wait a little while, but they are out on a shelf, so the bruised bits aren't touching any other fruits. Will report on progress when it happens!

Great. Me and Thea will really look forward to that.

[Hilary B]

If the disappointed want a phone number (so they can ask what is going on) PM...

[zazen999]

No thanks - not for me.
